Zeropaid Controversy: Bumping Old Posts

**Watchmen** · March 5th, 2005, 06:33 PM

I was thinking maybe posts older than a month should be deleted. This seems like a good way to please everyone. What do you guys/gals think?

I'm sorry, but CJ would never go for this.:error

By and large, I have no problem with old posts being bumped, and have no desire to delete them. Many of these threads are IMHO a part of the history of the site. It doesnt matter if its one of CJs fun threads, or one like this.

So you see, all of these threads are a part of our history.

old threads are good, they remind us of the continuity and how things came to be, where we came from and where we are going. I realize they annoy some people; but look at which people they are :angel

Sorry but this seems a little confusing now. Either you're for it or against it.

I was hoping that by making such an outrageous suggestion it might make people think about and appreciate the value of older threads. Anyone remember that post where everyone was introducing themselves and talking about their lives? Where we first met the real krell and found out his name was Robert?
Or the ZP family pictures/picnic thread?

Wouldn't it be a shame if such things no longer existed?

**Lord_of_the_Dense** · March 5th, 2005, 07:47 PM

I agree that it would be a shame. Just wasn't sure where you were coming from there.

**infringer** · March 5th, 2005, 08:23 PM

You know what in all actuality alqo you are very right man its so easy and people do it so often forget where things started and where they came from Mr. Bill Gates the prime canadite for forgetting where he came from he crys over a pirated copy of windows hrmmm cough .... well windows was a borderline pirated OS to begin with.

It can be annoying. I like the old threads though... they make for great reference.

**evilmegaman** · March 5th, 2005, 09:08 PM

I wish I could find my first post...

Anyways. I like the old stuff :)

I never realized krell was robert too.. Weird

<irrelevant statement>

BTW... I like old threads... they are alive for a reason. People can still contribute something to them. I am oft reminded of a poster with whom I used to be friends. Like Matsao... or Gorphon... people missed but not forgotten... they are the reason ZP is great... not me or grab or the Spud... it is the people that have put their indelible mark on the way that people have posted.... it will not be forgotten.

Please refrain from the unnecessary remarks. Thank you.
