i dont think it has helped the server

Fear not the Purge,
O' dear Mutant Dogs.

For permanence is not found
in electronic words
left molding in the archive

No temple
nor word game
holds the truth
of the General forum

Seek not vainity
nor aclaime
in these halls of light
and madness

The true beauty of this forum
is found
in friendships
new views
and the glory
Of knowing that you name burns brighter than any candle
For only a moment
and then another
is lit.

You should also purge the really old threads in International Incidents, sometime.. it's up to 1075 pages there.

hmm.. i didnt loase any more posts :P
That's because it was a different sort of purge. Before, we were deleting stuff manually.

[Shrugs] Well, we could always do it again and again until it does. :twisted: [/joke]

Heh, if it was in General it wouldn't really affect me - the bulk of my posts are in International Incidents :P

Not new, but you're right, it does not affect postcount.

Seriously though, if it helps the server why not do this couple times every week?

It's a lot of work for Admin.

I would agree.

Not new, but you're right, it does not affect postcount.Thanks--I was getting nervous about having to grow back to Postmaster General. Or Posty the Wonderforummer. :lol:

While it may be a lot of work for Admin, it would also in the end make things easier on many people, including the Admin.

Can't the process be automated?

You know what would really help? A brand new server!! And with the help of pay pall it wouldn't cost Violet a single penny...

They're already getting one but even then, with the all the posts building up....

NationStates isn't getting a new server, it will be moving over to Jolt.co.uk. However, this move will not be for a bit, so...

It's moving to the jolt server.

Ah, but is it worth the price of forum 7?

Forum 7 was going to be canned eventually. The move to Jolt will not happen really soon (was supposed to happen in April, my guess would be in October/November, however.)
