Poll regarding the closing of threads

[Gaia_Lorraine]

LIT has introduced the closing of threads with more than 5000 posts. This is in order to reduce the slow down of the server and is necessary.

However there is another solution to this problem. For every thread that reaches 5000 posts the first 1000 are deleted automatically thereby keeping the thread alive.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both but which option is more preferable?

Your vote really does matter.

Where's the poll?

Wrong account.

The whole basis of the site is free speech. Also Laurel makes it very clear that your posts will not be deleted. Why would you remove the OP and subsequent posts? That seems asinine.

Please explain by what you mean by 'wrong account'? Have I put the poll in the wrong thread?

Because some threads, particularly in the Playground are just 'Round Robin' for example Follow the the letter, and there are hundreds of such similar. It is pointless in keeping the first few posts.

This ain't the playground. This shit is historical.

I am sure that when you create and manage your own site that all of the things that annoy you here will be corrected.

But you can't pick and choose. What if something of great importance was in those first few letters? Most threads on the site aren't round robin threads.

I have. And here a solution has been proposed and in democratic fashion we are debating it as adults.

Gaia, tell your sister Quiche that I don't mind being a one-night stand booty call, but if she wants her earring that fell behind the bed last Wednesday night back, she's gotta call me or text me or somethin'.

I don't even know who the fuck you are. And further more, why you care.

What a nice polite person you are.

I think you might be lost.

Tired I certainly am. But this was Laurel's suggestion. So here it is.

Your first thread on the GB is complaining about how it's being run. No one knows you here. If Laurel is your buddy, she wouldn't have suggested this. Trust me.

Trust me she did, ask her yourself.

It would've been more effective if you had made it public, to bypass anonymous alt contamination.

Voted and had my say, but I seem to be in the minority.

And why is this a complaint? It is discussion. I am simply trying to suggest to her an alternative solution. If the current situation is the best solution then I understand, but if there is an alternative then if should be discussed and not put down and dismissed out of hand.

Please forgive me if I am unknown to you.

Now we're running multiple alts...



Cute.
