Hi there. Just a stupid question. After I submit the censusplus.lua file, Should I delete it or let it just keep growing?

Thanks

just keep it growing. I throw in a /censusplus prune 7 in there everyday to make sure that the file isn't getting too big. that command will delete any players it hasn't seen in 7 days.

Thanks

I tend to do a Purge after every Upload. This way your next upload 'seems' to go very 'quickly'.

Though both Hybuir and Gmmmpresser gave good advice, I would like to add something. If you choose to use Hybuir's method: how small the number in the command is could change if you run huge numbers of censuses on multiple servers.

For example I need to do /censusplus prune 1 or 2 fairly often. :D And every now and then after an upload I just do /censusplus prune 0, which is basically a Purge with a small difference. I get to see just how many characters were removed. :D

If you run census only on a single server, you most likely never need to purge and the standard prune button (30 days), will be more than enough. :D

And yes, small uploads are VERY fast... mine almost always take time, as the file is very likely to be anywhere between 1 and 9,99 MB in size... :D
