Title: life of posts
Post by: Andy B on 09 January 2009, 20:08:48
Do the various posts on the forum ever get deleted, or fall off the end somewhere to allow room for new posts?
Out of cuiosity I was looking through some of the items for sale and the first post is from waaaay back! http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1154374676
I reckon Gazbo must almost need another exhaust by now! ;D  ;D

No plans to prune any (other than those that need moderating)...   ...it does load up the server a bit though...

All forum software has the option to lose posts older than x days - we just choose not to do it.  We like to leave a permenent footprint on tinterweb, so google etc can enjoy ;)
