I noticed that messages older than 02/28/2002 in this forum are posts with no replies and should be pruned from the database.

Well tone down how far back your messages go and you won't see them.. Personally I would leave them messages to Let new players have an idea on questions that might and might not be answered..

Don't want this to crash again like it has twice before. 02/28/2002 was the date when it recovered the first time. I noticed that ALL forums have blank threads from then on back. Harley told me that the reason was because when it crashed the first time, a lot of data got lost. Those empty threads might as well be deleted.

As for reading back posts, there are some forums that provide useful info from back posts. Also, it keeps me from asking the same question that someone had answered a year or so ago.

I bet you didn't know Bud had leukemia once, and that Phoebe organized a drive to help him his family? Know where I got that?

Non Archived posts by specific users still goes far back into the past. Theres a great many nuggets of valuable info there.

Bud still has leukemia, and yeah, I know, cuz I was there.

betcha didn't know that.

He also had a 40, an 8th, and a few cans outta my unlces cooler, betcha didn't know that either.. guess what else you won't find in the archives... I was there with him... you won't find the pictures of him passed out in my back seat, or him mackin on muh girl

lol dude, archives contain SOME decent information, but for the most part, leave the past be, the same question that was answered a year ago, might have a fresh perspective on it today.... things change, ways change, and methods of approach change.

post ur question if you have one, thats the only way to learn

btw : bud is in remission, and will hopefully always stay that way

<3 ya bro
