Pruning The Forums - Bob Schroeck - 12-20-2006
I recently discovered a function in my control panel that will let me delete posts made before a certain date. Given that we have well over 10,000 individual posts here, I have to admit I am somewhat tempted to clear things out a bit. However, I know people may not feel the same. So I'm soliciting opinions. Should I, or should I not, nuke any of the older posts, and if so, how old should they be before they go bye-bye?
Thanks.

Is it... cheaper or something if you have fewer posts?
If not, I'm not certain what the gain is. '.'

Actually, no, it doesn't change what it costs me to run the boards. That's determined entirely by the amount of traffic I get.

In that case, I'd say "keep them all". Remember how upset everyone got when the Big Erasure happened earlier this year?
