Question:

[ASUADPi]

I don't know much about computers or the server hosting GC, but wouldn't we (GC moderators and such) have to go through and "clean out" threads and forums? Eventually you would have too much "stuff".

Can't a server only hold a certain about of "stuff"?

(I ask because I seriously don't know)

Sorry for crashing, but yeah there is a limit to the amount of data a server can hold, however if John is looking at allowing avatars we're in no danger of filling it up. I'd guess that memory is getting cheaper faster than GC can fill it up

I agree that the "hi, i'm new here" threads ought to be pruned. I don't know if there is a whole lot of value in a 6 year old thread, but I don't know if there is anything to be gained by deleting it. If there's no benefit to pruning, and I'm sure it will take some time to do, then I say to let old threads stay. If there are any duplicated threads, those could either be combined or pruned.

I don't think we need to prune old threads... that sounds like a lot of wasted time and effort. If there are issues with threads, they are dealt with as they happen by the mods.

I don't think it's really issues with threads but it is cleaning up our forum so that we don't have 82 pages of threads, especially since quite a few of them are "hi I'm new here", which after a while no one is going to look at again.

Because you're right if there is an issue with a thread it is handeled right then.

Like I said it is more cleaning up our forum because I guess a lot of other forums do it.
