Why delete it and then start a new one if it was meaningless ? Also meaning that all those who posted lost their posts. Causing some newer members to lose out on free shipping privileges etc. Why not just archive the old thread instead ?

new one has stricter rules, the last one was total trash and it needed pruning.

Thanks. I knew there had to be a rational reason somewhere.

Still archiving it would have been better no ?

Because it's worthless, the posts in there were deemed to be of no value, as such if people happened to post in there to bolster their post count they were suitably punished. The same will happen when the current thread gets too large, large threads hammer the DB and if they serve no purpose and hold no value its a no brainer for us to manage.

thanks for your input though

Welcome. Without input forums would be useless.

And yet a mod themselves created the reincarnation...

It was a big empty thread. The forums recently had database problems with huge threads. TIAM was one of these threads and was removed.

So what?

Seriously pointless drama.

Go to summer transfer thread in the football and just post every transfer story from caught offside (is it?) You will be on 1000 posts in the week.

Delete General Discussion in its entirety - who would suffer the most lost posts?

Both old threads were and everyone lost all their posts already. If you delete the current one, I think I'm in the lead by a bit.

I think the new TIAM thread is a darn sight better than the old one.
Hmmm I am tempted to make a thread, I will give a 1000 posts to the person who can demonstrate why I should give it to them? Let people be really creative. MODS DISCUSS
