17 pages of Off Topic threads / forum space
« on: July 01, 2012, 07:36:PM »
Hi all,

There is currently no space on the forum to upload docs / pics.  Although it is possible to painstakingly search through 108 pages of threads on the Jeremy Bamber Forum, to remove non case related pics, an easier way to free up room would be to remove many of the older threads in Off Topic.  Many of these threads will have uploaded pics that are taking up space on the forum.  Does anyone reject to a cull of old Off Topic posts?

Hi Rochford

Cull the lot and if anyone objects cull them too and redirect them to Mumsnet.  There's no space on here for nostalgia and sentimentality quite literally.

If you have any qualms about doing this you give to me and I'll bloody well do it.

Many a word said in jest  ;D

Egap1  :-*

PS Watching the beautiful game.  See all that passing pays off  :)

I will get culling soon hopefully but I'm under instruction to keep certain posts that may be needed.    I'm not watching the beautiful game, I hate Spain!  >:(   :-*

I have voted yes, although I think care needs to be taken to avoid deleting posts or threads which may still be of interest to some, or may be needed for legal reasons.

Ideally we would get rid of the large number of images which are repeated as it is the images which take most of the space.  However I suspect this would be very time consuming.

Has it been established that the problem is lack of space, as opposed to a software glitch? I agree that removing the text of the threads won't make a lot of difference, or if it does, not for long unless people learn to use the IMG tags rather than uploading.
