If there are certain threads that you don't want us posting to then why not just delete them or make them inaccessible?
 
well then our post count would go down and manually archiving each one is alot of work :P

what the lowering of the posts or the old threads?

cause the archiving bit would be hell XD it's just really tedious to do i've done it before for a different site and hooooobooy i spent a few hours to double check if it was archived

No the posting on the old threads. I like going through them and if I see something I like I want to bring it to other's attention. Sometimes a dormant thread that is revived can become the most active

oh shiz gotta edit my post make it seem im innocent!!!@
 
Obviously can't archive them, it's time consuming. And you can't ask us to delete them. Honestly that's ridiculous.
 
Deleting old posts isn't a good idea Rose. For forums posts are very important.
As for bumping them, I bet people are getting uncomfortable when they see some very old plugin which is no longer in use getting posts... Or getting a post in some solved problem and such. I am sorry. I know you are new to this and I should have explained this better

it is time consuming but it does prevent this issue. that's why i suggested archiving along while ago. while it is time consuming that's why you could put restrictions on what you can archive

EX: has the user been active in the last year?, No? Check their topics for the oldest ones archive.

that's how i did it before on an older site

Problem is almost every member is inactive.
And Clara made the genius job of deleting a lot of active members accounts when she started deleting spam accounts.

still, it'd prevent this problem, you can also narrow it down to but not limited to- Resolved topics EX: problems, questions etc.

Yeah but you know that's common sense as well, what's the point in commenting there? Nothing wrong in commenting in an anime thread or a review thread, but those...

Come on...it's been a long time. You don't have dug up the past. I said...I was sorry....and I am still sorry.
I didn't mean to do it. Somehow my query skills were horrible at that point ;_;

I get this Claraviolet but I am just saying that what if the ones we post in are revived and become more active and also I don't think people would post in those threads that have been solved. That would just be stupid . I am just saying that it is possible that I am not the only user that feels this way. Checking out old and interesting threads is how we get to know the site better
