Tables over Time

Also, a different question, but relevant to this, if I’m starting a project that was stagnant for a long time with old GD plugins’, is it better (in regard to the GD plugins) to just start completely over fresh with a clean install? Or, as long as I update them of course, does it make completely no difference so I may as well keep the structure and content I already developed? The idea of starting fresh with all new installations on my new server just seems refreshing in a lot of ways. But, that may just be an illusion because I don’t “know” if it really matters. Afterall, they’re inevitably going to change…

I don’t feel like you answered my question or explained anything I’m observing.

Thanks for your time!

I was mostly wondering if there was any benefit to removing tables I don’t need anymore or any benefit to starting completely over with a fresh install.

I’m asking because I had a site that has been through years and years of updates. This site hasn’t gotten anywhere. I want to start working on it now that I may have more time. It would be great to use the content/site. But, it wouldn’t kill me to start completely over.

I am moving to a new server. I downloaded the original old site. But, I had some troubles migrating it to the new server. So, part of me just wants to start over.

Also, GV2 is coming out possibly in a couple months. Therefore I feel like it may be better to wait. But, I have more time now to mess with this than I may later. So ideally I could use the old content and get busy on using the site now taking advantage of my old content. I just don’t want to do that if using the old site is going to be worse maybe because of that old code lingering potentially making it more likely to have issues (loading speed, glitches of any sort, etc…)?

So, I would like some guidance since you guys know more about how GV2 is coming along. Most notably, will transitioning from the old to the new will be as good as a fresh install?
