Library of threads

Coventry haha. been there. they make you chant "Do you like Spam-a-lot? Spam spam..."

or  "..Loo lee, thou little tiny spam, loo lee...

I like the library idea. I wonder just how much server space this site rents/owns/rents out (to make more server space possible). I wonder who owns the rights to the content we create. I sometimes wonder if content is fed to MI (machine Intelligence) to expand it's data sets. Interested, not paranoid. If  a mod reads this it would be nice to know these things for me.

My thread about how to make friends should be added to this

Please do.

Good idea

Mark said:

Btw why are you deleted user and Debbie now?

I'm 2 deleted users actually as I've left and returned twice.

My thread about how to make friends should be added to this. That had some good advice in it. (And I don't mean just what I wrote.)

Btw why are you deleted user and Debbie now?

Just bumping in case anyone is interested.

Debbie has left, very sadly. I didn't speak to her by PM either, only on here, but yes, she is very nice, and has been imo an important contributor to this forum in several ways. 

She will be missed. 

What's happened to Debbie? I never spoke to her by pm or anything, but she seemed quite nice judging by reading her posts in the forum.

Just bumping Debbie's 'Library of Threads' thread. Many of our most popular and (imo) important threads are Debbie's.

Just adding a link:

Yeah they are only volunteers so I expect they had Xmas off, saw that Ross Mod is back today but not sure if the community manager will be. Hope we both will hear back soon.

I emailed but no response as of yet.

I haven't had a response from my email 6 days ago but then there has been Xmas in between.

I hope they will reconsider the 3 yrs deletion. I think old threads are beneficial, even if your library thread were 5 years old it will be useful for new and old members to use.

I emailed but no response as of yet. I'm hoping they will at least consider it.

Since I started on here earlier this year I've been interested to try and go back through the thread history. I'm glad there's an option for zooming straight back to the beginning of this forum over 13 years ago.

If you were able to email the mods re this that would be great.

I have and I know that another person has but really as many as possible would be good - I wouldn't rely on them reading these threads and it making any difference.

I don't know anyway whether the new forum's policy of only having threads up to 3 years old is 'set in stone'.

It may be that we can't influence the decision but at least they will know that there are those who object.
