General YPN >> CHECK THE ***** DATES
Posted by Neu[Mann] on 11:24:00 09-23-2003
Please...
please...

this is getting ridiculous.

Some people said good bye to MoX who left nearly 6 months ago and now Inhale replies to a thread in the contest forum that is OVER 1 AND 1/2 YEARS OLD!

I can understand that one may want to write in the famous "How old are you" threads and such but one really shouldn't expect replies from a thread older than few months!

Check the GODDAMMED DATES before posting!

Aaah, yes... To spare yourself possible embarassment [and flames], it might be wise to look and see when the topic was posted. [addsig]

I did check the date. Which didn't help much, given that it was the date of the last post, rather than when the thread was made...

I am dearly sorry, I will only post on threads with a red folder.

Also - Why not purge the system of anything older than, say, a month, unless it is really active? [addsig]

Then it is not possible for new people to come and find the answer to a question. And I don't feel like answering the same question more than once.

Yeah, that's why I think in the new BBS [we wont worry about it on this one...] we could plan to lock a topic if after a week or so it has no new responces...this way it is still around for someone who may have a similer question to read, but it cannot be brought back from the crypt. (^_^)

But if it has no responses, it shouldn't be locked...

You don't need to do that, but just don't reply to threads from more that a year ago

Also, I didn't mean the ones with the ? and answers, just the ones like that. [addsig]
