Gizmo, thanks for replying. That's the US for you. We do have access to hosts like one.com that allow any size of database, but that is really hit and miss. Or we go for a server of our own, which is big money. GoDaddy has 1 GB limitation on database as well.
We know about the valuable content, but there is no other way. And after all, I'm talking 12 year old stuff here. We are going to selectively prune more 'random chat' categories to posts that are 5 year old or so and probably still have a backup around of old posts on a cheap one.com account.
About the stickies: we are going to move them into a separate forum as a backup and only then do the pruning.
