Just to be clear if I read the latest moderators note corectly they are saying all threads older than 3 years are going to be deleated. Not locked. Deleated.
I don't belive anyone asked for that inspite of what the note says about listening to feedback. I can only assume it has nothing to do with feedback and more to do with reducing load on the servers.
I think a lot of people probably missed this detail in the note so it was worth mentioning.
I wouldnt want a thread to be deleted after 3 years. If they dont want people replying, I suppose they could lock them, but I like to reference old posts to find disscussions or info I saw earlier. If I wanted to remember a website someone sent me 3 years ago then I wouldnt be able to. Of course I havent even been active here for a year yet but just my thoughts for my future self
me too there is treasure to be had in them.
I expect part of it is the space. Old profiles and threads will take up space so it makes sense for those to not be here, from that point of view.
