1 year ago I think a regular alert to keep things tidy would be more useful (rather than calculations on the stage size) I like the idea of a flag appearing in the stage list
That way the action to do so is still with the stage creator (also if no action has been taken for sometime this is a good way to be alerted to unneeded or unused stages and/or media to remove :) and it allows the artist/s to reset the stage as they wish visitors to find it :)
And this should be included in the manual as part of the regular house-keeping for any instance :)

the ways to remove archived events are:
- sweep the stage using the "sweep stage" button in the stage management interface
- start a recording (from the Stages list or Archive section of stage management)
- archive the performance using the "archive performance" button in the Archive section of stage management
it is not difficult to do, but the problem is that players don't think about this. new players in particular don't know, and even seasoned players forget. we can tell people and write it in the manual but the reality is that people will still not remember to do it unless they are prompted when in UpStage.
it would help to have some kind of message or alert that is shown to those players who have edit access on a particular stage, when that stage is needing to be swept. we need to discuss:
- how can this work technically? e.g. is there a way to measure the size of the archived events and have the alert happen when it reaches a certain size? or it could be a time-based trigger, e.g. if the stage has not been swept for x number of weeks?
- where should the message appear? could it be a pop-up that appears when a player with edit access enters the stage? or a "sweep me" flag that appears in the Stages list? or another place?
- what should the message say? something like "Please sweep your stage or you may experience lag and other problems" ?
