----------------------------------- Maverick Sun Oct 24, 2004 6:23 pm Naoki Stop Bringing up old Topics ----------------------------------- Wuts the point of locking old topics if noone posts in them anyway. ----------------------------------- Delos Mon Oct 25, 2004 9:16 am ----------------------------------- So all those ppl new to the site know about his Awsome Power! The ability - To Lock! Who won that poll anyway? ----------------------------------- Tony Mon Oct 25, 2004 10:11 am ----------------------------------- there was a poll? :? probably Asok :lol: ----------------------------------- the_short1 Mon Oct 25, 2004 10:23 am ----------------------------------- what poll ?? ? and i agreee... old old psots should be locked.. lets say after 6 months no activity... ppl can pm if they have questions .. and /or pm the mod who locked to ask him to reopen if its called for.. ----------------------------------- Mazer Mon Oct 25, 2004 11:41 am ----------------------------------- If I could make a suggestion: http://www.compsci.ca/v2/templates/Appalachia/images/lang_english/icon_pm.gif Can we leave it at that now? I'd like to lock this topic, but for fear that you'll make another asking me to stop locking topics :wink: And locked topics are ugly to look at. ----------------------------------- Maverick Mon Oct 25, 2004 3:52 pm ----------------------------------- Thats not the problem, iots just he was bringing up 2 month old threads and locking them for no reason. ----------------------------------- naoki Fri Oct 29, 2004 5:03 pm ----------------------------------- Hmm ... I actually might just start from the way back and delete topics until only like 8 pages remain. This forum, unlike other sites, very rarely has old topics brought up. Still, I'll wait a bit and see if enough people object to this idea Oh, and yes, I am sorry for bringing up old topics. I was supposed to lock them and then delete, but I keep forgetting to delete'em :oops: ----------------------------------- Andy Fri Oct 29, 2004 5:36 pm ----------------------------------- y lock and delete?.. just delete them ----------------------------------- rizzix Fri Oct 29, 2004 11:52 pm ----------------------------------- ii dont agree. :? i believe it's fine to bring up an old post.. but so long as you do not reply to that post as if it was an active on going thread. for example you may want to add in a suggestion not posted before to comment on the original author's works etc.. there really is no point in starting a new thread to do this simple task.. replying is fine, don't you think? what i do believe is that the grammar and sentence structure should be given consideration.. as it is it is a post of the past. so using past tense in references or quotes would be a good idea. another thing is it would be pointless and useless to criticize/comment the original author on his works.. but this dosen't mean you can't criticize/comment his works. there's a difference and it is NOT subtle. another thing, dont reply to converstions within that post that have headed in a tanget to the actual topic of post. that is redundant and foolish ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Oct 30, 2004 9:52 am ----------------------------------- i agree with rizzix.. and i dont think ppl should flame ppl just cuz they bring up old posts.. the nxt time i see that happen -30 bits ----------------------------------- Maverick Sat Oct 30, 2004 12:17 pm ----------------------------------- ohh big man. ----------------------------------- Andy Sat Oct 30, 2004 1:24 pm ----------------------------------- wtf does that mean? ----------------------------------- naoki Sat Oct 30, 2004 2:08 pm ----------------------------------- y lock and delete?.. just delete them Well I want to give people some time to realize what I'm about to destroy in case they have any complaints or a mod feels like they want to unlock it again because the topic still has some use. Mods can unlock, but mods can't un-delete. Y'dig?
