Removing Old Marketplace Threads

Youngster · 03-11-2008, 05:55 PM

The oldest For Sale threads go all the way back to 2006, maybe we should get rid of stuff that is over 6 months old?

No one looks at stuff that is more than 2-3 pages in anyways.

i think part of the reason that all of those threads are around is due to Feedback. All feedback reports are linked to the sale thread.

That's right, but I will be deleting some of the oldest threads which haven't been touched for months. Keep in mind that all users are encouraged to update or close their threads on a regular basis

I don't think old threads should be deleted, archieved perhaps.
They're great for histoical purposes, I mean, how much room can they be taking-up?
