Beginning soon...probably this weekend, I'll initiate pruning on certain parts of the forums. This will mean automatic deletion of any thread not posted to in the last 45 days. Thirty days is pretty much standard on most forums, but we'll try 45 to start and see how it goes. This will only effect the "Questions, Suggestions & Recommendations" and "Our Clubhouse - General Discussion" categories.

This should improve the overall speed when accessing the forums and just get rid of a lot of junk posts.

You may have noticed me place "stickys" on some topics recently. I've been trying to go through all the posts and keep info that's important or informative. However, I may miss something that you folks want kept around. If you find a post that you feel should stay around and not be deleted, mention it here and I'll take a look at making it permanent.

Well...I could use your help as stated above. Cool

I went through most of the general stuff...and moved some post with pics from members to the members section. Remember, that category won't be effected by this.

Anything else you see that may be of importance or informational that is more than 45 days old (March 12 would be the cutoff)...post a link to that thread here and I'll take a look at whether it should be kept or not.

Tks nope Good Idea

Turned it off for now. Apparently, one of or stickys about custom sprays went along with a lot of other crap. Embarassed
I really though announcements and stickys were not part of the pruning process.

That's only announcements that get saved.

In the next few days...I'm going to be doing some major renovations around here. In other words...deleting many, many useless threads. I already deleted two other "main server down" threads...and Crimson's DoD server thread is going away as well. With only one post in the last year...there's no use left for that one.

These two threads alone will reduce overall post count by over 600. My hope is to trim enough garbage to help speed up the forums and make this place a better experience for everyone.

I have yet to decide what to do with spam central... Confused

Delete it. Completely useless and unneccesary. I say get rid of Forum Members too. It's only the same people posting in the same threads. A bunch of spam in there anyway.

I disagree about the forum member...save for a few threads that got out of control. There pictures, bios...and some funneh stuff in there.

I'm pretty sure I want to get rid of:

Stats announcements...there's a gazillion of them.
Match announcements...except for maybe some good ones like title wins and such.

Cut out like the first 100 pages of Spam Central. It'll clear up room without losing the riveting discussion of present day SC.

instead of outright deleting threads, send them to another forum section thats pruned every month. this will keep postcountwhores happy.
