Cleanup

Well its pretty obvious HF has been giving bad hiccups almost daily to every few hours.

i no assholes like to DDoS HF a lot but DDoS is not 100% the issue of whats going on around here.

There is so many spammy posts, old threads that are no longer responded to or needed.

there is also a lot of threads that have a - in front of it like -1 -10 etc they are usually located on the last few pages of a lot of sections.

those threads when you visit them it says they do not exists so why are they even there if they dont exist? they dont need to be there it just takes up space on the database.

lately HF has been getting Mysql errors as well.

i think by getting rid of the above will not only cleanup the sections but it will benefit the community by some performance increases.

i think mentors/staff can handle getting rid of the -1 -10 etc posts because they are always on the last or the last few pages of sections.

as for actually find old posts etc i think a plugin would be needed because that would be a shitload of work pinpointed all of those.

im not saying delete all the posts id say delete ones that have been inactive for so many years.
What about useful post that people can use?
I don't support this.
I don't support this either. If I'm looking for something I go through pages after pages looking for things, they shouldn't be removed or anything.

On the other note, if they do go through with this, put a "trash bin" under the category (tabs) and make it a bit easier to find them (for people who don't know how to use the search, ahah).
No.

Old threads could hold useful information.
