Summer Clean Up

Post by Splint »

In order to preserve storage space and weed out a bunch of old garbage I did a mass removal of all the topics on the forum that have no been replied to in the past 20 days.

Quite honestly I thought I was deleting only those posts that had ZERO replies... period. However, it turned out to be ALL posts than simply had no replies in the last 20 days. Otherwise I would have chosen a much higher number of days.

My apologies to anyone who really liked some of their old posts, but at the same time there were a HUGE number of double posts and insignificant post and pure trash posts that were deleted and now poeple will get to sit on here and rehash the same old stuff like we would have anyway :wink:

the "old garbage" was stuff that i commonly liked to go back and read. i liked looking at stuff people had said about videos from the past, or from videos i posted back in the day.

was this neccessary?

As I said...it was not my original intention to delete all the posts that were deleted. When I began the deletion I thought it was just going to delete the posts that had never been replied to.

Was it necessary? Not to the extent to which it was done, but some sort of clean-up was necessary and now we've got one.

yeah there'll be no footbag trivia questions relating to the last two years of footbag history. (well maybe just a little bit).

I've never been a sentimental about anything so I don't think it's a big loss and there was a lot of crap that got deleted too.

Firstly...Sam, fuck off.
No just kidding.
No really fuck off.
No..um... I can't decide.
Yeah, maybe fuck off.
Well...oh...I don't know.
If your poems are SO important to you, then I'm sure you have them written down somewhere as well. If not then putting them on someone else's web site as a plan to preserve them was pretty silly now wasn't it? If you do have them written down then just think how you'll get to re-type them and bring them back to the forefront of everyone's imagination.


As I said, the amount of deletion was an accident.
I've contacted Jer about a back-up and we'll see what happens.

Anyone notice how all the old polls didn't get deleted?

Too bad the Janiwalker thread wasn't a poll.
