All my old threads have been closed!

Every single one of my old threads form a year or more ago has been closed. I’m not too bothered, but if someone finds somethig and wants to comment on it…. they’re buggered.

Is it the same for everyone? 😕

Yes – you’re not special after all…..

Maybe the thread about this last week should be a sticky for a bit….?

Druid: Well, I suspected that! 🙂

I think some archiving’s been going on.

probably speeds the db up a bit of they move stuff into a ‘don’t update’ table. Still there for google.

tbh, the only people who comment on year old threads are spammers anyway…

That was the reason given……

God! That is just, like, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO last year 🙄

I thought just the boring old threads were closed. But what do I know?

We’ve had a long term problem with spammers resurrecting old threads. It was causing lots of work for moderators and staff here at Singletrack.

We decided to close all threads over 1 year old.

It’s not a perfect solution I know. However in the circumstances we had no better solution.

The option to open a new thread on the same topic is still there and that way your posts won’t be on page 5.

You reference back to year-old posts? Sheeesh. I can’t be bothered to remember what I posted a month ago. A week, even. Are you a trainspotter?

Non forum members may come across old posts through a third party. It’s unfortunate that now old posts that were incomplete or incorrect won’t be able to be amended in the light of new information and will forever be wrong. They should all be deleted in that case.

That makes them different to the new and forever wrong posts in what way? With so many of the posters being wrong’uns, it won’t change the price of fish.

Or do you think STW is real?

I thought STW was the Matrix?

So…

You mean…

this has all been a dream?!?!

If you find so many of the posters and/or posts wrong, why not try to help the community by correcting them?

He’s not the messiah!

He’s a very naughty boy 😆

I try, but the other posters always seem to come back and point out that actually it’s me who’s wrong.
