Question, hopefully germane to this thread: What are the precautions one can take to prolong game life?

Please skip universe size (numbers of leagues and teams); that's a given. Obviously the smaller, the better as to game longevity.

I'm talking about such things as "Purge deleted records from database" and "Clean up scouting database." Have people done these and other things successfully?

Because, I don't think it's dates that kill our games. It's the size of the files and the amount of data which needs to be read and processed, ultimately becoming corrupted or too much to handle, that dooms our games.
