The files backup/ deletion

[FJTillDeath]

I dont know how it works, the "cleaning up" of this site and such, but I have read somewhere that the really old posts get deleted..

Some of the old posts are really good reads and have some information too, and I think Marsh is the one who filters through everything..

But I was wondering is there a way we can decide by way of poll or discussion which old topics we want to keep. There was mention of moving threads to a blackhole system and I think that would be a good idea for sorting through what the members want to keep and what to get rid of..

Like I said I am not sure how this works, but I know bandwidth isnt free so Im sure the cleanups do happen, though I have read threads from a good couple of years ago(yeah I read a lot of the old freds ) there are some good reads and answers to a lot of questions

Jesse, all 971 of my posts are still here, and I've been here since day 1. I don't think there is any culling yet.

Correct Harvy!  There has been no deletion of old threads or posts from the database.  I'm not sure where he got that from.

It is a very common thing for forums to do - and easy to do from the Admin section to trim the database by recent activity - age of posts - etc.  However, I have no intention of ever doing that unless it is absolutely necessary to actually keep the forum operational.

Thanks Marsh and Harvy, yes I was confused as when I was skimming through some of the old posts I read about people asking the admin to delete(obviously the thread was offensive to someone or something or they were just joking around)

Great to know that everything still stays

and a flipthebird smiley? If you mean a bird showing a zap sign the www.freesmileys.com has one. I would post it but my current office has that site banned
