Thank you everyone. Appreciated.

I don't want to waste too much of your time. I'm busy as hell myself and need to step out now, then do a work project when I get back.

If I don't see much progress on reducing the database by tomorrow night I'm just going to hire somebody. I'll ask if I think I want a crowdfund.
Do they give you DB access? We can handle this in one foul swoop.

You're in.
 
Yes, in the cpanel.
I don't remember how Joomla works, but if version history is stored in the DB, it can be DELETE * FROM yada real quick. It can also be a column that has a reference to another table, which can be handled too. Not sure if you can export DB, but I can help if I had a copy or access to it.

I have no idea how that works. I don't know how I'd give you access to my cpanel without my password.

an idea: give him a temp password, one that is randomized, to provide access so he can find a way to export everything, once he's done, edit your password back

but i also understand privacy concerns, this is mostly just an idea, probably a bad one in the end

i just don't know how else it could be done besides this obvious hard way, which i'm okay with, i'm up to like 20ish articles now
 

I'm not sure of what this dudes' thought process is... but it's so stupid, I had to take it out of the Circus Thread because it's just that goddamned stupid.

I think the contributed efforts is what's making this easier, so we can proceed with manual old version article deletion and resort to DB stuff last if it's needed, in case we run out of time.

should we add an announcement to lure people in to make accounts if they want like, a color username and sparkles for a month or so? :hm because a collaborative effort saying "please do this its important to mega gigantic nerds who spend their blood sweat and tears and possibly had to use pee bottles for this" doesnt quite engage people
 
@Patchy @Trinity
