My Forum is linked to my site. I've been away from it for some time and have only set up the basics of the forum the way I want it to look, it took me weeks so I don't want to lose it. I didn't have any members. I've been away from it for months and I find I've over a hundred members and they've been posting Porn.

How do I delete all the members? How do I delete all the posts without deleting the Boards I've created.

Please Help.

well, for one... you need to upgrade since you are 3 revisions behind, including security updates.

for two... http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Spam_-_my_forum_is_flooded_with_spam,_what_can_I_do

for three...  change your moderation settings to use checkboxes. then go to the boards, select multiple threads and choose delete from the dropdown box at the bottom. 

for users... do the same thing by selecting them on the memberslist and choosing delete
or - put the forum in maintenance mode for 2 days -- then, using the user maintenance, in smf admin, delete all members who have not logged in in 1 day.

Please do not PM, IM or Email me with support questions.  You will get better and faster responses in the support boards.  Thank you.
