welcome to internet forums. generally speaking, the fact that old posts never get deleted is what makes forums so valuable. you can search around for stuff from the very beginning of the forum, and everyone's posts are still there.
I understand what you are saying, but seriously if it is interfering and causing the board to go down, we need to come up with another solution - IMHO. I don't think there is any need to retain the type of conversation that goes on in threads like this. Yes they may be popular, but they aren't doing anybody any good when you cannot access 3geez at all.

well if any posts over a couple of weeks got pruned, the thread would function fine,this is an unusual thread due to the fact that it's fun bsing and no one really cares much about the old posts that are really old. if it was kept to a controlled number of posts

well it really helps a lot to keep the postwhoring out of the other threads,thats why it's in off topic. before this thread started there was def a lot more postwhoring. it's just much eaisier to keep one thread pruned.

Yeah I agree, cuz most of the time we never use the AIM Chatrooms or the java based room that you made.

I find I like the forum more since that thread has been started, since anytime of day even if no one else is posting I can say what I want it also gives us all a chance to vent and share fun stuff, without the hassle of going to another website or loading AIM if were say @ work or on public computer.

I also agree that deleting post's weekly is fine, I'd rather have it cleaned weekly then have the forum going down for hours like it did the other night and the night after that.

So to keeping the NEW one going
& to a weekly cleaning for the sake of keeping the forum goong smooth.

I think if anyone else has further problems with the thread We should have a mod put up a poll.

if this thread got deleted i would miss it even tho i dontpost alot on it i sure do read it alot

[frantik]

i miss these threads They were getting kinda crazy though lol like 1000 posts a week lol.

Perhaps a shoutbox would be a cool aleternative: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...threadid=38698

It's free to d/l for liscensed VB owners


barring that it would be cool to maybe have like one thread a month and once they get too big no more till the next month or something..

lol this is a place for information. the aim chatroom does good if we get like 4-6 people

shoutboxs are cool

[lostforawhile]

the thread worked fine,but it needed an auto delete feature,to maby delete the thread over a couple of weeks old,then it would run forever and never overload the system

[frantik]

^ thats the idea behind a shoutbox.. it's like a thread which autodeletes old posts.. or at least it should autodelete them

This shoutbox for VB definitely supports autopruning and says it's not terribly server intensive http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=131002

What I'm doing is waiting patiently for my Honda to break. Last 2 repairs were ball joints, rears in Sept 2006, and a front in March 07 with a alignment too. I hear a clicking/clunking when I turn, so I'm sure a CV joint is wearing out.

I think my Ford pickup needs balljoints too. Maybe I should work on that.
