Right. I'll pass the suggestion along.

Now, which threads did you post in? :twisted:

Actually, I see nothing wrong with a request for a forum purge. Doesn't necessarily mean that [violet] is going to do it, but there's nothing wrong with suggesting it.

iMove :arrow: "Technical".

Wait a minute, who just locked this?

Heh, that would've been my suggestion; just clear out general.

Too much of it's nonsense anyways :roll:

General is a great place to get post count fast, but IMHO: GET RID OF IT!!!!!!

I've been asking for a few weeks now for a purge....I wish they would do one.

Well, if we could archive the poetry threads, I'm all for it. There is actually some quality material in there. I would not be a bit upset to see the other forums purged as well.

BTW, can we purge the suckups too? :roll:

No, don't get rid of general! It's the best forum in here. Anyway, II and NS should defintely be purged, especially of the older stuff.

Ns and II are purged

One thing that I noticed when I was last looking through old threads was a MASSIVE list of Moved: threads. They really should be gotten rid of in every forum.

Those are just shadows, as I understand it. Marker to the actual topics. They don't take up much database space, if I understand the system correctly.

yeah but they do take up searching space

I don't have the space. Isn't that what the archive forum is for.

Yes but I meant if they don't archive them

I say purge every thread in every forum that hasn't been posted to in 40 days

allow a couple of weeks for archive

and for god sake! stop archiveing every thread by the mods!

if they have substance then sure..

but if it's a thread to sell a totaled car, then I hardly see the importance

Please no. There are a lot of old threads in Tech, Mod, and NS which are not worth sarchiving but great reads (for those of us who have twisted senses of humor that is).

*still wonders why thread thread is made shortly AFTER a big purge in NS killed almost 2/3 of the threads there... if not more*

"short" is all a matter of perspective. It was not until after the purge that I became good friends with Sirocco, got involved in Nuts & Bolts, and began making large numbers of puppets. It seems like eons ago when I had 900 + posts and NEE only had 700 +. Most of my NS life was after the purge.
