June 2 Board Maintenance done...

[Dee Dreslough]

Let me know if you see any problems! (Icons or sig images not loading, files not downloading correctly, inability to post where you should be able to post...)

BTW post count dropping does not count as a bug, unless it drops to 0 and you know you have posts. The boards are in a constant state of being pruned and cleaned up so post counts will be dropping as those posts are removed from the bloated, sickly, crashing database. The board is on Weight Watchers now.

The pages are loading faster than anytime before(since I've been coming here).

Would it be possible to link to outside organizations to help those who are unable to cope in their daily lives due to severe post count losses? There are quite a few of them on the forums here.

[Dee Dreslough]

LOL!

There's BUMP-anon: Begin Undoing Manic Posting...

[RickD]

Can we get a discount for that?

In the event of one's posts being scrubbed for general viewing, can that one still read his own, eliminated, posts?

Nope..they disappear. The idea is to reduce the amount of data in the board database...if we just hid the posts from view, it wouldn't have as profound an effect. I don't even really know how we'd just hide 'em...

The posts that are going away today are in forums for leagues that no longer exist. All other posts are staying. So, if you have gems in the forums for leagues that have disbanded, today's the day to find 'em and save 'em.

Thank you , Dee...guess that I'd better cut & paste my gems to a time-capsule, then....

Yea they are. Nice!

I really doubt that you have anything to worry about, Rongar. Nothing from the "regular" forums is going to disappear.

It's all in the eye of the beholder, Rick...them's my babies, and I write 'em to read, later on, in my old age (if that single eye will allow it)

I don't know if you know this, but when you delete a BMO users posts. What happens is that they are concidered less active. There reputation goes down. It went years without any such deletion.

If you are having problems with memory issues, then I suggest upgrading hardware. It is 2008.
