I do this often, go into admincp/ attachments/ storrage type and you will see the option to move files into the file system. you will need to create /attachments directory in your forum root and chmod it to 777. make sure the spelling is the same as in the admincp. move the files. do the same for avatars, forumpics, sig pics, and the rest of the images. your database should be about 30 meg with 6,000 users after you do this.
All forum owners should do this anyway, makes for small backups and forum runs smoother.
