There we go, I just did a quick skim through various forums here and found a few threads that could be nuked and restarted. Nobody is going to want to look at any of the previous pages in any of these threads as they just contain inanity.

The Haven
On a scale of -10 to+10 how do you feel right now?


I disagree, I'd like to lo look at old posts in several of those threads. As for threads with nothing particularly interesting to read... it really costs nothing to store those, as well, so it'd just be unnecessary. And then people would complain about the closing or deleting of some threads... it'd be meaningless to do it.

I think its better to have a historical record of all the threads rather just deleting the old ones.

I think a history is very useful, as you can search through threads for related issues. For example, you can just search for something like "dispraxia" and find relevant information about it without asking all over again like it's brand new. It would be nice to be able to archive topics somewhere but I doubt the forums support this. Of course some of the topics are totally useless and when you have off topic discussions with 77 pages I too worry about the resource hog. I'm asking online to see if this is a problem. So far I've identified that an old forum creates a large database and so a large index, this may slow things down but havn't got much info yet.
