The Big Reset

Mitch Clem posted on the forum:
"The board is acting extra shitty lately and I'm not certain why. Slow load times, timeouts, etc. Plus, is it just me, or do we have WAY more porn bots than we used to?
I spent an hour today trying to install some shit in the system that would stop the spam bots, but I couldn't get any of it to work. And, no matter what, that still leaves the bogged down system (and pruning isn't helping this time).
Anyway, so I'm trying to figure out what to do. The best option right now seems to be to wipe the whole thing clean, just completely delete the entire board and install a new one and start fresh.
Any objections? Any better ideas?"
After 15 minutes gathering %2 of the forum consent...
"Well, in the interest of everything running well, the main priority here I'd assume, I'm going to reinstall a new server, upgraded and everything. Then I'll move this one to a different location for a little while so everyone can be sure they've seen and saved everything they'd need. I trust everyone to be honest and not steal other peoples' usernames and stuff, because that would really just be outright malicious and douchey (halokiller I'm looking at you).
Cool?"
The Big Reset Happened.
