Forum cleaning, Wiki changes, and Discovery Issue 14/4.86 development

[cmfalconer]

Well, lets just take a quick look at forum indexes.

Welcomes...while small, that's 13k of threads and replies. anything more than 3 months old = toast.

Role-play hub (et al). roughly 70k posts total that should be considered sacrosanct.

Rules (et al). How long do we need to keep sanctions? 6mo? 1 yr? except for the perma-bans and things of that nature, the "player warned" doesn't really need to stay there for more than six months does it?

Factions. Sticky subject there. I'm sure there's tons of threads that need to be toast, but who makes that decision? and does a mod have to go one-by-one and weigh their worth?

RP 24/7 General Discussion. 120k of threads and replies? since cries of "gravedigger" and "necromancy" come up with anything more than 3 months old (or 2 weeks for the spammers), Perhaps a six-month time-limit on them?

Developer Forums. I'm sure there's a lot of old dev threads that can be toasted very easily. Any ship currently in the mod doesn't need it's thread there anymore.

Flood. get rid of it all. please? I'm begging you. There might be five worth-while threads there.

I do have a question: If posts and threads and such are deleted...what happens to people's post-counts? I know of a LOT of people who'll just go back to spamming to get their custom user-titles again, and you'll be back to the same problem you've got now.
