I checked out the open discussions forum and found that there were 827 threads dating back to February 2000.

Other forums are in similar condition. Such a waste of space!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rick.

I must agree with Michael. I have searched past threads many times before I ask a question. Sometimes saves me creating another thread.

The old posts are a "goldmine" or should I say "Zmine" of information. I would like to see the old forsale posts deleted. . .say after one month.

It is a very valuable asset to me as well. The combined knowlege from around the world, can be used to answer almost any question about Zcars.

I do searches myself on old posts, as well as old threads I have started.

Some of the threads I've started were questions, and it can sometimes take me awhile to get around to doing some of the stuff that other people recomend. So I need to be able to search out the answers that were postsed for me.

I have to agree. The old posts are like an encyclopedia of knowledge. I try to check them first before I ask dumb questions.

There's no way we are going to start deleting posts based on the date... Sorta ruins the idea of a database website, ya know?

You can set up your preferences to show you only the last XX days if you don't like weeding through everything.

Another good feature is the search mechanism. Very powerful tool.

Now, about space, message posts really don't take up that much overhead. It's all the graphics and fun stuff that takes up the real hard-drive real estate.

Agreed. Old posts are VERY useful! Saves the old wise ones from explaining everything twice...

No worries... Your right about the for sale stuff, thou. That can get extremely outdated. I will take a look at it and move the oldest stuff out into a different folder.
