Posts over 1 year to be wiped

[Scottler]

Andrew has returned from an extended absence, and he has already mentioned that he doesn't even look at post counts.

[Saitek]

Yeah so he might, but I think he does care. He'd rather be the top poster than Ozzy. Nothing wrong with that, - I'd be the same!

Anyway you said this, - have u changed yr mind?:

We'll see how Andrew feels about suddenly only having 138 posts.  lol  :P

Or did I misinterpret this?

I suppose the high post numbers would indicate to guests, visitors, etc, how popular this Site is... ...!
...(says Fozzer, desperately trying to hang on to his 3,472* posts... ...)...!
That's three thousand, four hundred and seventy-two posts so far... ...!
LOL...LOL...LOL..!

Cheers all... ...!

I remember just how depressing it was when the old "Ultraboard" Forum was dropped, and we all had to start all over again... ...!
...Buggar...!
LOL...!

*I mention that to all my friends, and neighbours, and the girls at the check-out at Sainsbury's and they all go...
..."WOW..."... ...!..."There's enthusiasm for you.."... ...!

Or did I misinterpret this?

You did.  Primarily because you overlooked this:

Niiiice.  lol  I say go for it.  It never hurts to level the ol' playing field once in a while.

Well for now I've been persuaded to leave things as they are .... there may indeed be a way to archive the old posts in a compressed format.

There are many valuable postings that go way back & can be found in a search - example Aircraft Design - &  wiping old stuff may be a little like ripping out the first half of a book ...

As always on this site - the feedback is the key to what happens here.

[Fozzer]

...breathes an enormous sigh of relief... ...!

I never have much luck, but our old mate, Hagar, has a magic way of instantly retrieving information from postings long, long ago... ...!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul.

P.S.  ...how do you do it Doug...?
LOL...!

if it is post counts you guys are worried about, i think that can be "fixed", althought it would take a lot of time and effort on pete's part

[Fozzer]

if it is post counts you chaps are worried about, I think that can be "fixed", although it would take a lot of time and effort on Pete's part

Hi BMan...!
I think Pete is going to leave it as it is... ...!
So that we can retrieve the early chapters in the book, when required... ..!
(Thank-you, Pete)... ...!
..bless his little cotton socks... ...!
LOL...!

Cheers all... ...!

Bazza err I don't have a sister-in-law, the person I speak of in less than pleasant terms is my sister. The most horrible twisted individual on the planet, oh and a chemistry teacher (proof of her evilness)

You never met my first wife, did you Mark?  ;D

My suggestion is that rather than delete what could be valuable information to someone, limit the posts in Photos and screenshots to one or two months tops.  I think that would free up a bunch.

[RichieB16]

Doesn't he delete the pictures every so often.  I remember he did it a while back in order to free up a bunch of space.

[Dan]

He did indeed...

[Fozzer]

I think some of "Fozzers Favourite Dinners" may have finished up in the trash can.. ...!
LOL...LOL...LOL...!

Cheers all... ...!

Paul.

Never mind. Some more amazing meals on their way to tickle your palate... ...!

Paul - just get ACDSee - or Irfanview - there is no reason any 800pixel wide image needs to be over 40/80K. You just aren't compressing them (enough)..

It's the lack of care that gets images deleted. Period
