May 22, 200620 yr I hope the old topics in the Graveyard Forum can be deleted. The two-year-old topics created by users which have been deleted. Currently, there are 139 Pages of topics in Graveyard. If some of the topics were removed it could free up space and also prevent users from bumping the old topics. Some of these topics contain dead links to ImageShack and are by users who do not use the boards anymore. Offline and unavailable.
May 22, 200620 yr I like you're idea, that would create some more space, since those topics only waste it anyway... nice thinking ^^ 99/99 Mage - Achieved 23/07/200799/99 Ranged - Achieved 20/12/200793/99 Defence
May 22, 200620 yr While it could be good for some old topics to be deleted, others have historical value to some people, and are nice to keep :) I'm no expert on mysql and phpbb databases and speed, but if it really is that much of an advantage to delete them.. could they instead be moved to a seperate database (archive.forum.tip.it?) which cannot be posted on. That way people can still read them. Where the bloody hell are you?
May 22, 200620 yr Author There could be a Graveyard Archive where old topics are moved. Similar to the Clan Archives whereby no-one can post replies, only view. Offline and unavailable.
May 23, 200620 yr While I'm not a big fan of sub forums... since we're on the issue of archives, why not just make an archive sub forum (requires the subforum mod) for all forums where people have expressed intrest in saving certain posts from deletion. Keep it to view only, and then prune the parent forum like usual :)
