Locked Boards

garnet_goodie · Post Posted: Apr 23, 2005 8:39 am

what I think is when a board is Locked....the next day it should be automaticly deleted.....because those annoying useless boards are taking up space which just adds up pages to a forum when new useful boards are made which may make the server slow down....get messed up...or explode...O_O...so I think once a locked board is locked...it should be deleted a few hours or the next day...do you agree with me?

I dont think they should be deleted because locked posts will show people what they shouldnt.

I have to agree w/ that. I've learned a lot from locked boards. Also, they pass by really quickly y'know, so it's not like they get in the way of anything.

My vote for the page: stay with the locked boards.

Not that I know anything about web design or anything...

EDIT: Do they really slow things down that much?

Pshht, extra threads have a negligible effect on server load. It's not a big deal...

Since I don't feel like starting a new topic, this looks like a good place to put it.

1.we need a sticky in here saying this is "NOT the New BackFence" for those too obtuse to see the obvious that there is no BackFence.

2.we need a sticky(same one) to say go read other Closed topic to see WHY there is no BackFence, for those that too blind to notice and too lazy to check that this kind of question has already been ask and answered.

3.finally, we need a sticky(different one) that saids "Go read the sticky about..." for those too <stick a word here> to read the first sticky.

*shakes head*

*sigh*

Scratch the sticky, make it an announcement or something. People just don't read stickies much...

yay, sheepie, that would be goos...especially the"thisis no backfence" sticky would be VERY useful....at the top, in red words..lol, no...but we had to make it big, or anything, that other people wouldread it. The title of cybies last sticky was good.

wait, wait wait. Did you say "LOCK a BOARD?" then it would be deleted right....so no one can post....so you'd be locking all the threads within....so...

I think they mean a post....I think...

phantomtheifdark · Post Posted: Apr 24, 2005 5:55 am

oh, because if you lock the ENTIRE board all the posts, threads within...Byebye!

HMG · Post Posted: Apr 24, 2005 6:06 am

Yeah. Then no one could post. lol. Hopefully, that never happens. I wonder why they just didn't lock the backfence. lol.
