Get rid of all the pages
 

I think that if a post has been made over a year ago it should be deleted. Certain members of Greek chat seemed to get upset when someone brings up an old post. If I think a post is interesting I respond. Also people seem to get mad when a topic has already been posted and a person starts the same topic. The search engine didn't help me very much and I am sure other people had the same problem. It takes forever to go through all the pages looking for the topic you want. I am really upset bc someone got upset that i brought up a topic that was old and it had been deleted. well even though the original comments were deleted there were still responses to the article. I put in my two cents. I think GC shouldn't get mad at people who reply to old posts. If they don't like it then don't keep posts up for so long. There I said it and I feel good. To the rest of the GC's you all are nice people i.e SJG33, newbie, silverturtle, gammazetagrl etc.

Thanks for the compliment, Lana http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif. But tons of GCers are really nice http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif. Are you feeling better?

Anyway, I think that old topics shouldn't be brought up only if they are controversial. If they aren't, I think old topics are fine - even fun to read! I would hate to see old topics deleted - especially if they are beneficial to read.

I spent a lot of time off and on these past days just reading old posts. It was so interesting to see how those who once asked the questions are now helping us find the answers. Threads within rush have so much information, it almost constitutes a book! It would be a shame to lose some of those golden tips. I agree with Newbie, unless it's really controversial/hateful/deragatory
it should be preserved. You should read some of the fears and anxieties some of our well know posters suffered through. It is hopeful and reassuring to see others have had the same feelings we have. I do think since we are in a new fashion season, some trendier clothing tips would be nice. Newbie? How about updating a new thread on "new threads"!

i think that some of the old posts are helpful, and should be keep. however, i do agree with AlphaSigLana, some people on here get a real attitude and bitchy when a topic is brought up again. some people are new and don't know that the topic may have been brought up in the past, or maybe they just want to start a topic that relates to them. I think that the next time we see a topic that has been brought up in the past we should reply to it if we have something positive to say, and if we know that there is some beneficial information to the topic starter in an older post we could put a link to it.

I agree. You can't win. You bring up an old topic and get jumped on. You start a thread that's been covered before and get jumped on.

We were all New to GC once and re-read old threads. I added responses to old threads alot when I first started posting back in February. I think, with all the "V" type activity, alot of us oldtimers have gotten a tad intolerant.

COntroversial/derogatory threads should be deleted to prevent them coming up again and inciting a riot. Locked threads should be deleted. But simple opinion/informational/chatty and even "Hey I have this problem in my chapter how should I solve it threads" can benefit a whole new audience by being brought up anew.

Huh?? I'm sorry, I don't get you?

I agree, some posts should be deleted to free up space.

I believe I'm the bitch in question.

I'm pretty sure she's referring to me again. People=Me.

The search engine didn't help me very much and I am sure other people had the same problem. It takes forever to go through all the pages looking for the topic you want.

Hopefully, the new software will make it easier and faster for the searches to go through.

Someone=me. The topic was about a wet t-shirt contest. I believe Lana offered to provide her own ideas on how to make these wet t-shirt contest more succesful. jeash obviously thought his post was in poor taste so he deleted his original post.

well even though the original comments were deleted there were still responses to the article. I put in my two cents.

Be careful. You might need the two cents for later.

GC doesn't get mad. If people don't like a post...they'll reply to it. Not everyone's going to agree with you...and if you STILL don't like it...TS.

If they don't like it then don't keep posts up for so long.

Moderators don't have any control of any of the other forums except for their own. If I had my way I'd ban flaky individuals and *PROBLEM* posters. First thing on my agenda would be to get rid of those "What do you think of XYZ?" threads.

There I said it and I feel good. To the rest of the GC's you all are nice people i.e SJG33, newbie, silverturtle, gammazetagrl etc.

Newbie is right...there are many nice people here. Have a nice day. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
