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

Will pictures attached to posts that are stored elsewhere, like on Imageshack or Photobucket, be subject to the 75KB limit?

If it's stored elsewhere and the only thing here is a link, then no, there is no size limit.

Can I request that the mods hold off deleting threads for a little while. I have a couple of ideas.

I've been going through from oldest to newst and have found some threads from 2005 that I'd like to keep onthe board.

I suggest the "master list" for keeping, be taken from Post # 12 for checking. I'm current;y up to 2008 so there really isn't alot of what *I* think we should keep, compared to what can be deleted.

Also I propose that we bring those listed threads forward (all it needs is one post). Then you can delete the oldest without much regard to what the threads are. I'm willing to do that one post if you want/allow someone to do it. Might be a good thing to set a time deadline for thread submissions. Say by Friday server time? (four-ish days by my count.)


I don't see any reason why they should. The link is just text. The pictures being stored elsewhere have little bearing on the sites textual post limit.

We're not jumping on this to start today - or even this weekend. PM's are what's going away first, then we'll start in deleting things en masse after that - probably starting some time next week or weekend.

And again, the issue per se is not with the threads - it's with the number of pages. Some of those nice flood threads have hundreds of pages. Chances are - the topic MAY be kept, but most of the content WILL be deleted. So again - it's flood. You want it, keep it somewhere else.

And old sales things, non-RP related things - it's probable those will go away. It is YOUR responsibility to back up anything you want kept - not ours.

Oh god... The end of days... Agmen agreed with me.
