Title: Forum Changes - Please read. Effective May 1st. Post by: futch on April 21, 2009, 09:34:41 AM Hello
These past 12 months have seen the forum grow considerably. Each month we average over 300,000 visited pages and the workload gobbles up server resources. The web hosting service has requested we improve the performance of the site. So it's time for some pruning and tweaking. The following changes will take effect May 1st. Personal Messages: Top 25 Any messages older than your 25th PM will be deleted. Your browser should have a Save-As option. Use it to save your PMs onto your computer. If you have less than 25 messages, you have nothing to do. Notification: Disabled Message board notification emails will be disabled. PM notification will remain available. Old Posts: Purge The following Boards will have Posts deleted from them, based on the date condition:
Marketplace: "Delete Me" & no replies
Guest Account: Restrictions Guests restrictions will remain until the effect of these minor tweaks can be observed over a length of time. If the changes are successful, we will expose more areas to anonymous visitors. Inactive Members: 0 post count, not active for 6 months or more Members who have 0 posts and have not signed in since October 2008 will be deleted. That is all for now. Fairly minor stuff we hope! If anyone has any suggestions or questions please feel free reply or message a Moderator/Admin. Thanks F |
