In reply to Archives - keeping them and removing them., posted by jane d on June 30, 2004, at 22:38:13
I think a time limit is a good idea. Most free sites out of necessity dump the archives after a year or three. I have never supported this being a pay site nor would I suggest it.
I think your examples are specific and clear and show a sound reason for limiting endless archives.
I too remember the childrens board and when it was discontinued.
I accept that my words are here. I know that the revelations I've made on this board are easy enough for someone to figure me out. I've had some contact with admin over the years regarding matters pertaining to this issue and my feeling is that the archives are here as long as Dr. Bob is alive and breathing. <---*opinion of zh alone*
It probably wouldn't be a very happy thing for me to reread my posts five years from now but with that grain of faith maybe if those archives are gathering cobwebs on this site I might be able to see I've made progress. However a free online site isn't that place I guess.
Thought provoking and good timing with this post Jane D.
