"Expired" Topics
« on: June 07, 2010, 12:16:37 PM »
Scrolling through today to catch up I had a thought.  The topics that "expire" and get locked, could they get moved to child board (sort of like the Nostalgia Nook but it gets cleaned out more often) with in their board?

If it's too much extra work, then it was just a suggestion from a stray thought while scrolling through Forum Games and other Silliness. 

I also have a question for clarification...
    When a thread expires are to we wait until it goes the way of the dodo before starting a new topic or is once it's locked b/c it expired okay?

Thanks for the clarification.  And all your hard work.  I want to bake you cookies or brownies or something to say thanks.

Media favorites is set way long, as I recall (like many months before lock, and then a year before an inactive topic is deleted). I can't check out the particulars right now though.

Eh, "long" is all I needed to satisfy curiosity.

Heh.   On other boards I have searched for threads more than three years old.

If we did not have a board population generating easily 100,000 or more messages in a year, I'd be a lot more relaxed about it. :)
