I just realized how much had disappeared from the boards after the pruning. One of the reasons I liked these boards as opposed to the MML was that I could always find what was posted here and have links to it. If this is becoming a trend I am wondering if it is really worth it.

Really?

I haven't noticed anything missing yet, because I haven't roamed in here for a while. What's gone?

Do tell.

On that note, some of you hardcore folks should be archiving this stuff if you're not already doing so. ;)

There doesn't seem to be too much missing that I can see. You might want to scroll down to the bottom of your screen, where the "Display Options" settings are, and set the "Showing Threads" options to a different setting. On "From Beginning", you get 27 different pages of threads, going back to June of '03.

And if you sort them by size, most of the large ones are still there as far as I can tell.

Pruning? Yikes, that would make the links from the stickied post a possibility of losing regardless of the links, if they fall off the back of the pages?

Does that mean we need to bump old thread that we want to avoid being pruned?

I had forgotten about that. I was actually able to find all the threads I was looking for now, thanks Cthulhudrew.

MrFilthyIke is right though, dowloading threads is probably a good idea just in case.

Its a real problem isn't it?

Dragonsfoots new 'worlds' forum seems less likely to vanish, I guess.

Edit: Although me being bad at navigating these boards here makes me suspect I'm over-stating things slightly...
