As the title said it self but not the whole subject.

I was checking my forum based on myBB software and got a question is brain.

1. What if i remove mybb_events Table from database ?

is this will make any error in my board ? it is taking too much space in database and i want to make it reduce.
I'm not sure about errors but some things won't work. Like birthdays and what not.

But, how big is yours? Mine is only 4.1kb, what plugins do you have installed?
As far as I can tell, it's used for calendar events.

Couldn't you just disable the ability for people to add things to the calendar?
Thanx for the reply.

Members have no rights to do anything on board except ( read , reply and vote ). My board is a competitor board and is big board and we are based on Indian Tv Soaps so we just remove the ability of members to make a new thread or add anything neither they can use User CP.

Give me a moment i will make a screenshot of my database may be that will give u any idea to make me help.

Before when it was on 1.2 Version at that i was using many plugin like FiKa Video Gallery , Plaza , Arcade etc but now few plugins i have and most of them are for Video Embed on Board
I'd imagine you'd get an SQL error when you go to the calendar if you delete it because the calendar would try to load stuff from the events table, which wouldn't exist. If it's too big:

TRUNCATE `mybb_events`;

Boom.
Thanks for the reply

Let me try
Perfectly all right , Thank you very much
What is the use of mybb_sessions Table in database ?

Can we Truncate it ?
It holds the information of who is logged on / visiting your forum. It's not recommended to just truncate it - it will log everyone out in the middle of what they're doing...
is this harmfull ? my board is read only board so can i Truncate the table if it not create any problem bcoz i noticed that the table is big in size 5.1 MB
