It's normal.
All texts from posts are in a flat file. Titles, threads, members are in the database.
I believe 2 Gb is the max, i don't know what happen after, a new messages2 i suppose.
What's your natural language?
Mine is french.
I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched c-beams ... glitter in the dark near Tanhauser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost ... in time, like tears ... in rain. Time ... to die.

This is a feature that caught my eye into fudforum. It speeds up all things. If you wonder why accessing fudforum is faster than any other message boards, it is because of this. Just make sure to back-up this file also whenever you do backups.

well the path you've specified is actually the directory that probably has 2 files, msg_1 and private storing the bodies of normal & private messages.
If you have a large forum that is perfectly normal.

The forum won't "compact" the file, as that is a very slow process. If you wish to compact the file, there is an admin control panel explicity for that purpose.

yeah, when you delete the message the database references to it are removed, but the body remains inside the message file until the compactor is run.

You can uncomment a line inside the compactor script that will allow you to run it via command line. The instructions can be found at the top of the script.

Compactor does not remove any messages, but rather is re-creates the message storage file, so there is no NULL space, which is caused by deleted & edited messages.
The compact.php script has not a single DELETE query or delete function, so it can hardly be responsible for message removal.
After running the import script, did you run the consistency checker?
