Re: Collective Data Graph [Re: Anno]
    #2075192 -

i dont understand why you would be alone on this issue....i mean why keep around old threads nobody looks at that just take up space? sounds like a good idea to me...

but then again, i dont know the whole story...and hardly ever go into OTD, so im pretty much in the dark on this issue.... im just wondering why you feel you dont have any support on your idea... is there a reason that they feel the need to keep these threads around?

how's your WOW?

Well, it?s that the owners and administrators of theis site don?t feel that this would be appropriate, although one could even selectively delete posts based on the age and the number of thread views(which is a pretty good indicator of the popularity(~quality) of a thread.)

Just because a thread isn't popular doesn't mean it doesn't hold a piece of usefull information... Many of the threads were popular back in the day if they had 5 posts in it...

These post are a part of shroomery history, should be burn all history books aswell because they take up space?

OTD? Useful? History?

Cmon...you don?t keep chat logs neither for years, and OTD is just that, a chat on a board.

Oh, as for the history....

Most old threads are gone anyway through updates and mishaps and whatnot.

So I can?t see what is wrong with to SELECTIVELY get rid of the ballast.

what he meant to say is that he is actually a DEA agent that set up this site exclusively to collect information on potential druggies for the massive nation wide bust they plan on carrying out near the end of 2005



er...I mean...uummm...damnit (please don't ban me)

i guess you got a point there....but how many people actually go back and use these old posts for information? im willing to bet that after a certain time they are completly forgotten and never looked at again...

but, i understand what your saying.... :grin:

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: This is a great idea.  If we have the ability to specify from which time period, in addition to how many views a thread had in each individual period we ran the clean sweep on.. then what's the problem?  For posts prior to 2001, maybe the cutoff would be 30 views; prior to 2002, 75 views; prior to 2003, OTD has sucked since then so let's just tank 'em all :lol:

Really though, I've been in support of this idea ever since Anno mentioned it months ago.  I wouldn't like to see an entire block of posts deleted, but by specifying a date range and minimum view value, I think that will save us a lot of space.  Many of my posts are in OTD, however most of those posts were made over a year ago.  The rate at which the forum moves these days is concurrent with the chat room as Anno said.  Why the fuck do we have a forum for chatting when we have a chat room for that?

:confused:

The only constant is change...  :print:
I'm not going to whine and bitch if nothing is done (as is evident by my lack of whining and bitching when this idea was shut down last year) - but I will say that it is an excellent idea set in the best interests of the community at large and particularly applicable when one considers our mission statement.

>>I think that will save us a lot of space

The problem is its not the space being taken thats an issue, its the cluttering of the db file that has to seek through all the crap to get to the usefull stuff

>> For posts prior to 2001, maybe the cutoff would be 30 views; prior to 2002, 75 views; prior to 2003

And i have to laugh about this, your saying to cut before 2001 at 30, but in the last one PRIOR to 2003 (meaning everything before) should be dumped =P

But yeah i get whatcha mean :wink:

Stop being so technical... of course you knew what I meant :crazy2:

.. and as I understand it, the server has run out of hard disk space a few times now.  Perhaps not due to board activity, but hey getting rid of all that crap couldn't hurt, eh? :tongue:

Shut down? No.

Delete old posts in OTD periodicaly and regulary? Yes, that would be something!

Too bad I?m alone on this front....


I also agree with you Anno. There are tons of usless threads that could be dumped to free up space.

obviously OTD has site appeal., its the 'popular' forum perse.
its what gets all the traffic.
isnt that what ANY site is looking for?
i think the Admins need to accept OTD 'as is' or delete the forum.
imo, deleting the forum is a kamikaze risk...
regarding deleting threads to save space,i agree with 3dshroom on this one. i agree with any oldschool Admin, they know whats best.
I think these new admins are bored and are trying too hard
to make a difference.

You seem not to realize that there aren?t any posts in OTD older than 2.5 years.
This site exists for 6 years.
What do you think happened with the older posts?
