Correct, emptying the GAB_temp_stats table does not affect the GAB_ads table. The 'views' and 'hits' fields in the GAB_ads table get updated when the vB cron job runs.

Morgan,
The reason I thought I needed to clean this out was because from admincp -> database backup -> backup to file on server

When I run that it starts off by doing
GAB_ads
GAB_cats

Then nothing. I can let it sit for a long long time and nothing... I figured it was because my table had grown to a really large size after a year plus, but deleting the old info out of the table as you suggested got the table size down to about 4-5mb, nothing huge, but yet the database backup still bombs out. I've tried using the database fix table tool several times just to make sure the tables are ok and they all are as far as I can tell.

6 months or more ago this used to work because I would do it once a week or so, then at some point months ago it quit working and I always assumed it was because that GAB_Stats table which is the next on the list had grown too large to backup in that method or something.

Fortunately my ISP does nightly backups and I could ask them to recover one of those, but I sort of liked doing my own backups through the admincp tool.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for asking, yes I am doing better. Sorry but I had to be AFK for a bit. Understandably it upset a few people, and I'm not going to say anymore on it other than sometimes life is very difficult. As to your question, are you trying to make a backup of the entire database? If so, doing backups via the ACP is not really the way to go, especially for large forums. Please http://www.vbulletin.com/docs/html/m...atabase_backup for backup options and http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...78&postcount=3 for a bit more information on why doing backups via the ACP may not work.
