To ADMIN:
It's not urgent, so I won't clog admin inbox with unnecessary email. Lord knows you guys have enough of stuff to deal with


I believe that deleting old threads would serve a good purpose. 700+ pages? Yikes! No one reads something some long gone OP has posted when dinosaurs roamed this Earth

Sometimes there are already threads on a topic, but as community has changed, opinions probably with them.
Sometimes there are threads that have slipped past community "delete" button, such as "what should I do" or "anyone experienced this".. No one searches for a "what should I do" when they want to see about their situation, typing in specific keywords instead.

So there are tons of useless threads using up server space. Wouldn't it be better to just remove them? Let's say all past page 100 or a certain date?

Maybe it would be good to let a breath of fresh air on subject?

At the top of the POF/S/H page, you'll see "Frequently Asked Questions." Click on that. Then you'll see a list. Go to where it says "Forum Posting" (it's in a big blue box) - click on that. Go down until you see "FORUMS: Understand The Purpose of The Forums and Why Redundant Threads Are Deleted." Click on that.

It explains it.
