Title: Spring Cleaning
Post by: mickw on Apr 11, 2009, 13:16:30
As we have now moved provider and problems have now been overcome, would now be a good time to delete the old posts in here ?
The important posts are pinned anyway.

Just a thought as Rick and Ian have nothing else to do  :twisted:

Please do NOT delete old posts. There are lots of useful posts that are years old I refer to.

Unless it is affecting performance (which I now doubt) then they should stay.

there probably will come a time when we need to archive the proceedings of the forum, but I would hope it's a reasonable way off and we will be able to maintain a read only version available for exactly that reason. We've got some seriously useful stuff on this forum now.

I agree, although I do try to copy stuff I think might be useful in the future and save it to my PC normally because I never know whether I will find them again.

But there could always be the odd thing you don't know you will need until the time comes.

No - I wasn't suggesting the whole forum, just the Updates/Upsets section  :oops:

I just thought most of this would be irelevant now


Note to self - STOP thinking
