The lounge cleanup? - Larry Lovestein - Nov 27, 2014
Hello! So. I was in the lounge today and noticed there are 19k+ pages!?!?!?!?!
I DON'T MEAN DELETE ALL THREADS! JUST THE ONES THAT YOU CANNOT OPEN!
Wanted to know if we can get a cleanup on them since the threads say they are not specified when you try to click on them....
So, can we please get a lounge section cleanup?

What's the point in having a clean up? I mean it might be good but in all honesty, theres no real point.

No, it does not need a clean up, lol.

Site is not laggy, so I don't think it's really important ...

What's the purpose of this? The only thing it would accomplish is to lower some members post count and delete part of HF's history. Many members still look back on these old threads to remind them of old times. Sure it would reduce the database to some degree but I don't think it'd be fair to delete a ton of topics besides the ones which are unspecified.

I don't mean delete everything inside of it. Just the threads that are super old maybe past 1k

Ok, well it was just a suggestion. Please read the RED BOLD text in the thread for an updated response.

Since it's not giving us delays, who cares?

I see no need. The only result will people getting pissed over pruned posts.
* - ocherries - Nov 27, 2014
I don't really see the point, there's no important need to clean the lounge up. In my opinion.
* - justg - Nov 27, 2014
I'm pretty sure this would mean people would lose hundreds if not thousands of posts. No need.
* - Larry Lovestein - Nov 27, 2014
Ok, well to many posts to quote...
You guys obviously don't understand. It wont affect anybody post count! If you go to the last page try to go to a thread! And you wont be able to because there is no thread poster! Thats what I am saying we should get rid of.

If I remember correctly Omniscient wanted to actually do something about this but it may be at the start of the year, I can't even remember, it may of been something like that or he didn't wanna touch it.
