For practical applications, all the old threads are in one place, so one can find them easier with the search button. |

I always found it entertaining to backtrack all of "News and Info", and I see not why we do this......just my opinion of course. |

It hasn't done anything too bad yet, and there wouldn't be any contreversy over it if everyone hadn't freaked out when it happened. Sooner or later, this was going to have to happen, you couldn't just let the topics keep building up and up until there were over 1000 pages for each forum and stuff, so you might as well do it now, right? And now it'll be tons easier to go through threads trying to find a certain something that you're looking for after all of the threads are put into two groups, those before and after the clean-up, so you don't need to go through all of those pages of randomness and crap. I understand why Locky did it, it's just that it was so sudden without warning it caught everyone off-guard and they began acting like a dog does when you playfully pounce on it and it bits your ear off, not knowing it's you. Any topics which people may want to keep active can be kept active, just ask an admin to move it back to it's original forum and stuff. |

When I was here, we voted about such drastic things - before they were done. That's what I want to say. Because then people can argue for and against, and since it was nothing urgent it'd have been an all right discussion. I don't want to be pecky, but I really think this should have been a lot more like good ol' Trash Can at Dragon Battalion. There, the pointless, stupid, utter crappy, locked topics went in the trash can, which was kind of like the archive. It's all my opinions, but I really see no point in pruning - and that's why I never was for it when we discussed it all those months ago when it was suggested for the first time - it was the "Spring Clean" idea, I think. |

Its not the fact we dont like the posts being there (which I dont,) its the fact we should have voted on this before it was done. |

It seems to me like you've all come to a semi-unanimous decision on this, but all the same, I feel I should give my input on this 'pruning'. I personally don't like this idea, mainly due to the fact I loathe letting go of the past. Deleting all the old topics to me feels like having a part of my soul ripped away, like all the old stuff we've talked about, all the good times we've had here, are just being thrown away without a care. But I dunno. Maybe that's just me. Oh, and:
lmao!

"Should you ever feel agony for the loss of your Brothers due to enemy guns, bear through it with a stern smile and let your enemy know that you will get into combat soon enough. His judgement cannot be avoided! Should your charge falter under heavy resistence, roar your devotion in His name and amount whatever strength you have left at one enemy point and crush it utterly! Let the enemy feel your pain by turning their's into agony! Should you lay beaten and dying on the field, laugh with pride for even in death our enemies will fear us, leave them with a scar that will haunt them till the time of their retribution!" - Chaplain Valorus | |

Yeah, it's the only thing I don't agree about with locky's doings, is that we didn't vote on it But that wasn't a major concern because the first thing I see about all of this is "Locky effed this up" and BB or whatever the hell we're suppsoed to call him now acting like a total ass and stuff, so I threw the thought about voting aside to help Locky. Civily, I'm sure we would've been able to easily figure this out. But look back and read through what people've been saying and you'll probably see why I just began arguing. |

I did it, because things like this need to be done regardless of what people think...so i just screwed bueracracy, and did it, and pisssed off everyone except Jack.
Someonr had to stick their hand in the rabbid bear's mouth, so i did. If that crappy anology makes any sense.

Well, your boldness is commendable, but don't you think it would have been a more tactful decision to get the community's general view on it first? |

Its done, end of matter. We can go on argueing for days, but its not the right kind of activity, make some active topics =p |

(I really usually hate to make fuss over small things, but since this is the most interesting discussion we have had in ages, I will keep on nothing really personal...)So, Locky, thanks for showing us what happens when we scre beureucracy and do things without voting - everyone starts complaining and everything just gets fidlesticked up! Last time this happened, was when I banned the two stupid "corsairs", because I had no vote back then, and it resulted in having James getting angry and demoted, Jack leaving the site, and generally bringing negativity to the site. I learned my lesson, and since this is not that big a deal, I also hope you have learn your, Lachlan. I understand your intentions, but had you argumented for them on beforehand (with calaros and Jack and whoever), then it would have had much bigger effect, although I'd probably have won the discussion (with the rest of the active people), because we are just some ignorant, conservative fools, who can win the discussion
