 * Quick question. I don’t have any live polls running at the moment, only a long
   history of archived polls that people can view. I noticed that the wp_pollsip
   table holds a mass of voting history, but is this actually needed to maintain
   the existing polls? Can I prune or even completely clean it without damaging 
   those archived polls?
 * So far as I can tell, WP-Polls itself never does any even basic maintenance on
   this table, so it just stores.. and.. stores.. and stores a huge history of voting
   IP addresses. I can’t see any reason to maintain all of this if I don’t have 
   any active/live polls for people to vote on.

 * Feel free to prune the table. If the polls are no longer active, it is safe.
