also, and i know i'm only half-way through the process, but now my mysql database has ballooned to twice its original size. and, because my forums are so big, thats an enormous size!
once my new 7.1 boards are up and running, is there anything i can do to remove the 6.5 info from the database, so that it cuts in half again? (or is that something that happens automatically at the end of the upgrade?)
