vb.org Archive - Mysql queries to delete some records![help specially for FireFly]

Hi all,
some forums in my board are too big and containing many threads that i have to delete.
The problem is this: i want to delete all the posts and the threads but i would like that this not affect the "article counter" of my board.
The counter uses the FireFly hack posted on vb.org here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...threadid=33811 and the piece of code for count the thread in a certain forum is this:

PHP Code:


		
			
$getpostids=$DB_site->query("

SELECT post.postid,post.userid AS postuserid FROM post

WHERE post.threadid='$threadid' AND post.visible=1

ORDER BY dateline $postorder LIMIT ".($limitlower-1).",$perpage

");

if ($limitupper>$totalposts) {

$limitupper=$totalposts;

if ($limitlower>$totalposts) {

$limitlower=$totalposts-$perpage;

}

}

if ($limitlower<=0) {

$limitlower=1;

}

$postids="post.postid IN (0";

$hackuserids="(0";

while ($post=$DB_site->fetch_array($getpostids)) {

$postids.=",".$post['postid'];

$hackuserids.=",".$post['postuserid'];

}

$postids.=")";

$hackuserids.=")";

$hacks=array();

$hackcounts=$DB_site->query("SELECT postuserid,COUNT(*) AS totalhacks FROM thread WHERE forumid IN (13,14,15,16,20,21,23,24,25,26,27,49,59,46,77,78,79,80,81,72,74) AND postuserid IN $hackuserids GROUP BY postuserid");

while ($hackcount=$DB_site->fetch_array($hackcounts)) {

if (!isset($hackcount[totalhacks]))

$hackcount[totalhacks]=0;

$hacks["$hackcount[postuserid]"]=$hackcount[totalhacks];

}

$hacks[0]=0;

Now my question is: what are the queries to delete all posts and the threads and not reduce the counter?
thank you very much in appreciate :smoke:
