Title: Best Way to Remove All Users and Posts?
Post by: Vik_R on March 23, 2011, 11:30:45 PM

I have an SMF database which is offline - i.e. there is no link to it from any current website. However, the spammers found a way in, found a way past my spam protection, and spammed it with 200MB worth of spam, and 1933 spam user accounts. I like my layout, topics and colors, and do not wish to delete them. Is there an easy way to delete all posts and remove all users?

Thanks very much in advance for any info!

Hey there!

Just open phpMyAdmin and empty both smf_members, and smf_messages, smf_topics, and any other tables that correspond to topics/messages.

That'll get rid of topics too
