Dumping the inactive users will only remove their ability to log in, won't remove their posts or uploaded pics. As others have pointed out, that doesn't free much space at all.
I'd suggest removing pics 5 years or older, but I don't think a PhpBB admin can to do that, you'd need server admin rights to access the image directory and remove the actual files.

I mean, lets be realistic, I'm sure this site has gaping security holes. I'm sure I or one of my colleagues could accidentally gain access to the drive or get server admin rights.

Are the downloaded pics stored in the database or in a filesystem?
herbie @ Wed Dec 04, 2019 4:20 pm
In a file directory, db references it.
site/images/avatars/upload for llama66
site/files for the rest
But this is an ancient and highly mod'd version of PhpBB on a Windows server, I only run new versions on Linux machines so I can't say fer sure. You'd need access to cPanel-File Manager or FTP to remove them.

It's just mildly illegal.
Also I'm an infrastructure guy, others are better at web application. But I'm learning.

I'm a database guy... well, I was.

I remember the debates about PenTesting decades ago. Is it really illegal, if you break in and fix things up?
llama66 @ Thu Dec 05, 2019 7:18 am
Per the letter, maybe. Per the spirit? I don't think so.
DrCaleb @ Thu Dec 05, 2019 8:13 am
No, it's always illegal. 
Unless like Tricks, you are hired to break in, and there there is only a limited and pre-defined scope to that break in.

I had a retailer that wouldn't let me order a part to pickup in store at the store near me, because it wasn't in stock. Apparently they changed the policy of shipping to the store and allowing for pickup. So when I put through the order, I intercepted the post packet, changed the store parameter to the one I wanted, and sent it on through.
Surprisingly it actually worked. The order got submitted, and a friend of mine working for the company confirmed that it was put through to ship to the location I wanted.
Then I bought it elsewhere because fuck them.
