Apotheoun Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 It is always sad when information gets deleted. As far as the Lame Board is concerned, why not delete everything every 30 minutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apotheoun Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Why not create a specific forum/folder for all the archived material? Would that still prevent moving or deleting fora (e.g., the Lame Board, or whatever)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arfink Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yeah, I'd like to apply for an exemption for my lame board thread, otherwise I'll be moving my stuff to the open mic. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikita92 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I wonder what topic(s ) people keep revisiting the most! dUSt- you have my vote on what you suggested! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franciscanheart Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 No threads will be deleted. All the threads will return back to normal. Nothing will be archived. After this process finishes, I do hope to go in and delete a ton of threads though. I'm thinking the ones that meet these parameters: - Older than 1 year with less than 5 replies - Older than 5 years with less than 20 replies - Older than 30 days in Lame Board Thoughts? Good plan. :like: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Two things. One of the biggest "slow down" factors is huge threads. For example, the "Count to 10,000" thread. It is a major board slowdown, and contributes nothing. The "older than 30 days" means it's been over 30 days since the last post, not 30 days since the thread was created.

Byzantine Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 For example, I cannot tell the phorum to "only unarchive topics in the Lame Board". Good. No threads will be deleted. All the threads will return back to normal. Nothing will be archived. After this process finishes, I do hope to go in and delete a ton of threads though. I'm thinking the ones that meet these parameters: - Older than 1 year with less than 5 replies - Older than 5 years with less than 20 replies - Older than 30 days in Lame Board Thoughts? Looks good, especially with the clarification on the Lame Board. Though might be a good idea to see if anything particularly insightful was said in a thread. Google does find Phatmass, ya know!

Tony Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 archive.org needs to do a better job of finding threads Sometimes I get as far as finding a topic, click it and it's not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
