Deleting [17/02/07]

[HalfMoon]

Okay; I have come to the conclusion that lots of posts, after a while, are awfully annoying. So I have decided I am going to delete a whole bunch of old posts from the boards.

---

I will not be deleting posts from any of the ooc boards; such as general, rules, suggestions and updates, characters, the pack boards, etc.

I will be deleting posts from mid/end of last year and older. I do not have an exact date, but non from this year will be deleted unless it has been in reply to one from two years ago [which I highly doubt anyone has done]

I have also decided to weed out more inactive members [not just the ones with no posts]; so this means some character posts from said members will be deleted and their characters wiped from the list.
I will also be demoting inactive alphas using the system stated in the rules
[more info on this? Read the inactive members part down the bottom]

---

Hopefully all these changes will encourage new members to join up, as I have realised a big board full of thousands of posts can be a little overwhelming; and new members may feel as if their post will blend into the see of posts and be ignored.

If anyone has any objections, or requests for certain posts not to be deleted, please post now [doesn't matter if you're not logged in! Post!!]. I wish to do these changes soon, and I don't want to have members hawking at me for deleting something they didn't want deleted.

Confused? Post
Upset? Post
Angry? Post
Full Support? Why not post?
Yay; you're not dead!! Post

Posts older then 400 days have been deleted. Members with no posts, and 1 post have been deleted; along with the 1 post by each member; which goes without saying..

Shouldn't members that have been blocked (ex. Kaligula), or have not posted in over a year (ex. Ashindi), be deleted as well?

I think cleaning up the boards is not only encouraging for new members, but it will also speed up the site since it won't slowed down by so much excess data.

I thought about it. I will do it within the next two months; at most. I'm thinking of doing it now, but I have company.

Thankyou for your imput, I was begining to feel like I was typing for a brick wall.

Oh, I know how that feels. =DD Welcome!
