AwesomeMcCoolName Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 EDIT: So there are now over 200 pages of threads equating to roughly 6000 Threads. The majority of these threads are just cluttering up the site making it difficult to find stuff (manually or through search function) Archived section into which any old thread which hasn't been touched in a while, or labeled closed, old buy/sell threads, any thread which has been answered etc... An archived section with 2 sub-sections. One being for storing all the old trading threads/other crap (aka anything which would never be useful). Accepted/denied suggestions Accepted/denied mod applications Completed/Old trade threads Solved Price suggestion questions Inactive threads (anything that hasn't been touched in 2 months) Most of Merrys GB spam etc... And another section where any answered questions would be stored (aka anything which answers a question which could technically be asked again--aka a resource for future similar questions). [General purpose FAQ/Precedents].
Jymotion Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 While I love organization, what would be the benefit of this over just keeping them locked in their subforums? Just easier to find?
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted July 8, 2013 Author Posted July 8, 2013 While I love organization, what would be the benefit of this over just keeping them locked in their subforums? Just easier to find? Well, ignoring the second sub-section, since that might be worse since it'll move possibly helpful threads into one giant clusterfuck thread. Storing old threads in archives would be beneficial since it would reduce clutter, making it easier to find things. Plus, look at the trading section, there are threads there that are months old, or just completely invalid, and they get in the way, making searching difficult. Plus you often get old threads bumped on accident by a person who doesn't catch the date. And once its been "bumped" once, it'll keep getting attention (ever see an old key buy/sell thread on SOP get bumped after 6 months? It gets swarmed by people)
Jack Cruise NUB Posted July 8, 2013 Posted July 8, 2013 Yes, this'll be pretty useful and get rid of people adding you because of 2 month old threads that are locked
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted August 29, 2013 Author Posted August 29, 2013 BumpMy ocd is literally driving me nuts....Almost all the topics are cluttered with old/invalid threads, some of which are locked others aren't; either way, these threads clutter everything up, and make it hard to find things. Just look through the suggestion section, 13 pages of suggestions, some of which have been added, others have been burried and ignored, and others are just floating around in the huge mess of suggestions
Woifi The Viking Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 Yes something like that would be awesome.

jorisk322 Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Archived section into which any old thread which hasn't been touched in a while Like this one. But I do agree with this.
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 But I do agree with this. Good, now Brad.....please :S the forums are such a mess if you actually need to find something.
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted January 23, 2014 Author Posted January 23, 2014 Isn't the great below used for this? gb shit still shows up in searches, plus there are some actual real threads in the gb. GB threads aren't necessarily garbage, they're just inappropriate or wildly off topic. BUT, the gb does have it fair share of spam *cough* merry *cough*

BUT, the gb does have it fair share of spam *cough* merry *cough* I'd like to state here that I have done my fair share of spamming and odd topics to. And remember the awesome polls there? Wasn't that pokey? Oh boy those threads were dumb. Only real gb thread is best convos. GET IT OUT OF GREAT BELOW

GET IT OUT OF GREAT BELOW and: corrupt a wish Best Thin that happened today Forum Game: The Great Story (assuming its not completely derailed) which kind of porn (if it didn't just die off, and wasn't made in jest) how many hours a night you sleep etc... There all legit threads, there just way off topic/random and just don't really belong anywhere else.

Corrupt a wish is lameGreat story has been done before but due to awful search function cant order woifi to mergerino- The porn one was serious what I like but very very fit for great below The sleep thingy was a mistake of me to put in great below , it turturned out serious And the entire forums are off-topic and random, you should know

But the majority of the threads in the gb are just bullshit spam, which contribute absolutely nothing. The above threads have or have potential to contribute.
Administrators OverduePixels Posted January 24, 2014 Administrators Posted January 24, 2014 I really like this idea. This would help in the search thing. Hope Brad/Fiskie add it up!

Yea....that would be nice; hell, i'd go through the forums and sort everything out myself. Anything to get rid of all the crap floating around. P.s. Someone merge the three corrupt a wish threads.
