| Delete the Old Threads [Locked - Redundant] Posted: 3/29/2006 4:22:43 PM | I've seen alot of posters express frustration over people posting a topic covered in an old thread. I imagine that this must also be a pain for the moderators who have to constantly read over these posts.
Some of these threads have over 70 pages. Honestly, who is ever going to look at page 47 again?
Don't get me wrong, there is some classic material on these Forums that would be unfortunately lost. But, has any consideration been given to deleting these Forums every once in a while and start them up fresh?

Poetry section sometimes has been over 250 pages. It depends on the venue. | |
