Title: Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on June 26, 2006, 10:16:38 PM
Im sorry, but im getting a little bit tired of stumbling across ancient locked topics, and so are a few other people. Im just going around deleting old locked topics. However I am not deleting ALL topics. I am leaving the ones with a little more significance to them i will leave. there is still very much destruction from the great medli era. Some members lost thier lives in the terrible era. Some such as joe donut and the leader medli herself. There is much destruction still taking place from her acomplices. I am merely doing some reconstuction to help clean up the forums. Please post about how you feel about my action. if you are upset, i will stop. If you agree i will continue. I have recently done the chat board. it was much needed. tomorrow i will be doing the general discussion board. If there are no posts regarding me to stop by that time, i will proceed with a new board each day. Thankyou for taking time to read this incredibly long and dreary post.

Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on June 27, 2006, 03:46:56 PM
yup! Shadowlink13 is helping with this too though, so im not doing this alone. That would be biting too much to swallow :-[
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Gamefreak on June 27, 2006, 03:59:56 PM
You know what would be ironic?  If someday, this topic became ancient and then you would have to delete this topic. ::)


And who knows, maybe I could help with the cleanup. [glow= yellow,2,300] ::)[/glow]

Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Gamefreak on June 27, 2006, 06:30:38 PM
I think Zelda Veteran knows what I'm trying to say.
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on June 27, 2006, 10:41:36 PM
alright. So far i have deleted two pages of spam, and locked topics from the general discussion area. It was mostly 3 reply topics asking jack questions and introducing themselves before we had an introduce yourself topic. Those pages have cobwebs i swear! Its like all the old school TDC people that were here before i was :P Anyways ill finish this tonight and move over to the General Zelda board(seeing as how fan fics are priceless and people read them, and Links are there so that we may enjoy other sites).

Once a couple things happen, I can help.  If you catch my drift.  ::)

Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Mysterious F. on June 30, 2006, 05:04:48 PM
I've cleaned up the remainder of the General Discussion.
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on June 30, 2006, 06:21:17 PM
thank you. there were origionally 19 pages here. i deleted until it was down to 15 when i left for bed last night. there is definitely improvement. lets keep this up! Now the chatboard, AND general discussion have been cleaned. As soon as gamefreak has his modly powers, he can help with clean up!
now for the update!

Whocares has joined the clean up crew, and we are doing our best to clean all of the useless topics. I looked over what whocares cleaned, and he did a good job. I only found a few locked topics and things that could have been deleted. We will now move over to general zelda.

nothing more annoying than trying to find an old thread when junk is in the way
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on June 30, 2006, 08:37:26 PM
I agree with you on that. Thats what this is for. I made a suggestion to Jack about a Dead Topics Board, but i dont think its gonna fly with him.
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Mysterious F. on June 30, 2006, 08:38:37 PM
Topics that haven't been answered within a four month period could should be deleted unless they are really important.
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on June 30, 2006, 08:51:30 PM
UPDATE

The general Zelda board is finished. Im pleased to report that there was almost no spam at all!! Keep it like it is there! :D
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Mysterious F. on June 30, 2006, 08:52:49 PM
Don't forget the Role Playing ones, there are some spam, notably Anju's creation of several topics having nothing to do with role playing.
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on June 30, 2006, 09:37:01 PM
UPDATE

NES, LttP, LA, 64, MC, oracles, FSA, WW, TP, and PH have been cleaned. I am now moving to the final phase. Im leaving the theorys section alone, and im cleaning role play. the next update will be the last, and a celebration it will be!
:D
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Mysterious F. on June 30, 2006, 09:46:53 PM
UPDATE
Zelda Veteran gave me permission to do the News section if I become a complete mod. If not, I'll tell my careful plans about what to do there to Zelda Veteran.

How come whocares gets to be a cohort on the General Discussion?
Tell me why I shouldn't be a cohort or I'll set AK cat on you...
Oops, looks like I answered my own question...

Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 01, 2006, 01:16:13 PM

You were the "leader" of the new wave of members we had back then, so it only seemed right that they had some representation on the mod squad.

You know, your a mod, couldn't you just move it to the chatboard?
Title: Re:Spring cleaning
Post by: Mysterious F. on July 15, 2006, 12:22:24 PM
And now the entire forums are done, so, lock, but not delete, because in the future this could remind us to delete or lock old/pointless topics.
