I was wondering if it's possible to create a script for phpbb that resets the database every 24 hours and only keeps 2 users that I specify and all changes to the forum since the original backup are deleted? If so how would I do this? All help is appreciated!

it's [i]possible[/i] to do just about whatever you can imagine ;-). what you'll need to question is what will be feasable to run? i don't have time to delve into the workings of phpBB with you at the moment, but i would recommend running something like this:

create your active DB
create your backup DB
when you run your cron job to restore the backup, just TRUNCATE all your tables in the active copy
then, do a SELECT INTO from your backup to your active DB

hope this helps give you some direction.

also, i'm moving this to the 3rd party scripts section.

good luck!
