Well surely it can't take much; something like SELECT * FROM 'active_news_articles' where 'published_date' => date(today)-90days? (I know that's a horrible mangling of SQL syntax, but you get the idea :P ) As far as safeguards go, it can't be that much more difficult at the simplest level to filter out the old stories. Nobody cares whether a really old story is popular or not... because it's old. ;) - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
