At some point it will reach that number again anyway.

It is not a big problem to see numbers like that but it is my requirement to have new ids on a new forum.

Yeh I think even truncate a table can not solve the problem because it has relations between tables

Oh and I forgot to mention that by truncating them, you also run the risk of breaking internal links that your members may have linked to in threads.

You are right, truncate a table can not help to posts or forums have new ids like on a fresh forum.
