Purging blogs

By Richard X. Thripp at 2009-01-10T22:59:04Z in News, with these tags: accounts, blogs, registration, spam, jump to comment form. 95 words.

I’m deleting all the blogs registered before the new year which have no posts. WordPress MU unfortunately is very inefficient in that it stores lots of settings for each blog separately and creates eight tables per blog, so the database is becoming hard to manage. This will help alleviate that temporarily.

If you registered a blog before but never posted, you can recreate it by logging into your account and then clicking here. I’m not deleting any of the 3000 user accounts; only blogs. There were 2000 spam blogs registered last month which I deleted also.
