Has anyone suggested deleting DC? I would suggest that, if it hasn’t been suggested.

so all accounts and history are wiped out, on purpose. How do you think that’s going to go over with the posters?

Just to clarify, a move to either a new version of vBulletin or a move to Xenforo would both allow for accounts, threads, and posts to be migrated over (as limested mentioned earlier). Not sure about Discourse. Still a **** ton of work though.

I'm sure there would ad revenue lost by deleting a forum that nets a lot of views. In terms of performance improvement, what would that do? And how much of a time investment would it take from you/AC/etc...? |

BRC change is inevitable that is just life. As Daface said you can keep a read-only archive if you are feeling nostalgic Quote:
If that is the case then moving to Xenforo sounds like a good plan. you could do a new server migration to VBulletin it looks like as well. |

Whatever we go with - auto-loading gameday and draft threads w/o having to refresh would be amazing for this forum. Which is also something I like about discourse - it has no pages - just endless scroll.

Here's an idea on how to begin pruning old threads:
1. Lounge Thread: Any 5-10 years old gets deleted EXCEPT the Top 50 or Hall of Classics Any greater than 10 gets deleted except Top !0 2. DC Threads: greater than 5 years old gets deleted EXCEPT Top 10 3. Pictures Threads: ONLY Top 20 get saved 4. Media Threads: ONLY Top 20 get saved 5. ROMPER ROOM: 10 THREAD LIMIT AND LEAST POPULAR ALWAYS DROPS OFF FOR GOOD Moving forward, the only way to save a thread for future is if 100 posters approve Option, instead of deleting have all these threads moved to a seperate server Also, All inactive posters greater than 3 years get deleted NO MORE MULTS moving forward |
