And it has been, and I'm guessing that I'm not the only one.

I've been using the referrer log for a long time, and I have a busy forum. Even though I refer ( laugh ) to it all the time, I have not been maintaining it.

I was looking at the database, and the referrer log table had blossomed to close to two million (2,000,000!!!) rows. I have now pruned it to about 100,000 rows. Even that is taking up 26MB.

The same goes for the admin log, although it isn't nearly as large, and might be more important to keep. Mine is at 110,000 rows and 20MB.

Maybe in the future we could be able to set something up to be able to automatically delete log entries over a certain age.

Food for thought.
