Suggestion.....Delete out some of the older posts.
« on: January 29, 2010, 07:25:02 am »
Just a suggestion that some of the older posts should be deleted out.....Especially from the 'Off Topic' section.  How long are the posts kept?

I really like this idea...at least lock the threads. Just a couple minutes ago I found a thread I wanted to post on but it was back in August of 2009.

That is a really good idea some of these are just curculating because they are there, not because anyone cares any more.  They are very fascinating tho.  But some are just becomeing outdated. Or just boring

Wow.  That's very insightful.  I never really thought of it that way.  Please, please...elaborate.  Tell me more.  Inquiring minds want to know!

I agree....we should have a forum "clean up"...get rid of old posts, duplicates, etc.

I have to agree, some posts are way too old. Like, nearly a year? You should set like a 3 month expirartion limit if it's inactive.  :dontknow:

270 Days is a very long time for the posts to be hanging out there. 90 days is more than enough. 30 days is enough for me!

Luv the suggestion!!  Some of the posts are really kind of outdated and what's the point of keeping them around?  Deleting the old posts would keep FC "fresh" and up-to-date, it's not like FC will ever run out of posts---everyone has too much fun here!!

I agree. They should delete the old posts especially if you can't add anything to it.

Along the same lines.... Max out on the numbers of pages before having to start a new thread. Does anyone actually care about  16 pages of replies???
