Cliff Ton 10,494 Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 We have a solution to deal with the massive, pointless threads which have developed over the years. Threads such as ‘Keep One Drop One’, ‘Word Association’, ‘What are you listening to now?’ will be deleted and then re-started. Post which have been made within the last couple of weeks will form the beginning of the new versions. There’s no need for any of them to go back more than a few days - or weeks - so all the earlier posts are a complete waste of space. From now on they will be edited every few weeks to prevent a massive backlog developing again. 1 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,494 Posted March 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 For anyone who hadn't noticed......I've now seriously reduced several threads which had multi-thousands of post going back several years. A significant proportion of all posts on the site. Song Association Keep One Drop One Word Association What are you listening to now They all now go back only a couple of weeks at the most. More will follow. 1 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,343 Posted March 29, 2017 Report Share Posted March 29, 2017 Agreed it does seem more responsive so that cannot be anything but a good thing. Thank You. One drawback is that it loses the originator of the thread and therefore they no longer get credit for their original effort 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
