Bastard Moderator from Hell - 9

(influenced by the
Bastard Operator from Hell stories from yester year)
6:00pm - Sunday Night
Malice sits in his nice pleather (yes Pure PLEATHER!) office chair relaxing. He grabs his beer and jiggles his mouse to get the monitor to come back on.
After a moment, it does, and Malice clicks on the Azureus icon in the bottom right hand corner, to see the status of his torrent porn/bondage/mp3/DVD-Rip downloads.
After picking a few he wished to get done first, he open a browser to Hype!
Malice deletes 12 new PMs and decides, its time to work.
He smacks his hands together, and opens up a new browser to the admin panel, a new IE browser to login Malice-Test, and a Opera to login Malice-Test.
"Lets see, what constructive work can I do today!? How bout a little cleanup...."
Malice does a search thru the user database for those users in the Email-Awating Activation Group...pulls up 72 users. Malice promptly selects the box to signify SELECT-ALL then hits the delete button.
"72 loosers no longer on the board."
Again, Malice does a search thru the user database. This time, he keys his search on any user who has not visited the Hype in a 30 days. The screen shows the beginnings of a large list, 11671 users. Again, SELECT-ALL - DELETE!
"11671 non-dedicated loosers have been pruned."
Malice then decided to look at the overall size of the database. Looking, he sees that it Data usage is 1,168.36 MB. OK that is way too big. Promply clicking on the Threads and Posts Admin link, then the Prune button. The screen prompts him. Malice tells it to prune everything over 14 days. That should free up some space! After hitting the button, the screen starts pruning. For two hours its deleting posts.
Malice gets up and heads to the kitchen to make dinner.
Coming back, he sees he has accomplished his mission. Only 32MB used in the database.
Mission acconplished.
Opening Thunderbird, malice starts to type a message to Mirko:
"Hey Mirko...
How goes it?
Well I have some good news. I have pruned a few posts and users. They were dead-weight and no longer needing to be on the forums.
NOTE: Make sure your fee you pay for the ISP goes down because of this.
Your truly,
Malice, The SHH Admin"
Sending the message, Malice feels like he has accomplished something for the power of good today.
