Auto Prune? dos this exists?

[alehawk]

Hi!
I need to autoprune one of my forums, phpbb has this option, does vbulletin?
I cant find it anywhere.
Tnx!

As in you want to get rid of all the post in a particular forum?

I've honestly never looked as I haven't needed to, and I don't think it exist, but I believe you could simply delete the forum (which would delete everything in it) then recreate the forum.

search on "prune" "all mods" "titles only" and you'll find a mod to auto prune threads.

Yes Mark, I want that I got a forum which receives docens of posts per day and I want to prune it.
I saw, Lynne, a mod but was for 3.5.x I'm sacre that if I install it I can put down my forum or damage something. :S

[Lynne]

Try it on your test forum. Very often mods from 3.5 will work on later versions (unless they have a form, in which case the security token just needs to be added). But, as I said, test it out on your test site. Or, better yet, read the thread and see if anyone has mentioned trying this on other versions.

[alehawk]

I'll try it out.
tnx!

Of course, you can just make this a part of your regular monthly maintenance routines and prune manually. I did that for a couple years.

There's a mod called Auto Prune which does work just needed to edit a few files and it worked a treat.

I saw the auto prune thread. someone "said" it works for vb 4.2.0 but i'm curios if there is a mod for 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 out there under any name. I'd like to get away from monthly maintenance as much as possible.

I think this is a feature that vBulletin should have built in.

So, you're asking for vB4? Just asking because we're in vB3 General Discussions here.

[mykkal]

yup... i saw that some folks say it works with vb4.2. I'm not willing to be a guinea pig to find out. I no longer have a test version installed.

[cellarius]

So, instead of the thread of said mod, you're asking here, and you don't even give a link to that mod? You really should ask there since that's where the people will be that have that mod installed.

Anyway, having a test forum is a smart thing to do, so you don't have to hope others are willing to be the guinea pig for you.

[mykkal]

The other thread is for vb3 as well. there has never been a vb4 mod. If you didn't mind I was asking in case any of these good people knew about something I hadn't read.

I will recreate a test environment if I don't find anything concrete.
