leaving spam behind?
 
I am migrating my board (which is currently running 3.5.4) to a new host. I have kept the board free of spam (for the most part), but the registrations are *full* of spam (35,000+ spammer registrants).

Is there any way to move the posts and not the registration info?? I'd love the new forum to be "clean". I also plan to upgrade to 3.8.4.

TIA.

Jeff

You may delete all the users you want from the admincp and then do what you want with the board. Just make sure you make a database backup.

Thanks Lynne. Can I mass delete everyone??

If you mass delete everyone then your old posts will be turned to posts from guests instead of wheoever they were originally from.
