Which Specific Threads Would You Like Saved from the General?

Solius · 22nd June 2011, 18:54

Solius Happy Hideaway can be moved right across can't it? Don't think there was anything bad in there.

mehro · 22nd June 2011, 19:06

Still need to check it. I'll do it later today

Dr. Dwayne · 22nd June 2011, 19:07

I was checking it earlier, got up to about page 15 but there were a couple of posts I couldn't see. Still a bit to go there, Solius...provided you stop abusing the report a post function.

At the same time, is there anything absolutely critical that you would have to have that old thread and couldn't just start a new one? I don't mean to sound so harsh about it, but that's the stance we might want to take with some of these old threads. Even if we do try to save all of them, it would be in some prioritized order and you might be better off making a Happy Hideaway 2.0 thread anyways instead of waiting.

Dr. Dwayne · 22nd June 2011, 19:09

um...don't you have a newbie forum to moderate jveezy?

Sad, but understandable. The problem is that we can't see the old threads, therefore it's more difficult to actually remember it.

If it was possible to see it, possibly only for small periods of time, it would've been easier to find funny threads and asking for them to get moved. You (the mods, not only Brophs) seem to do a good job so far.

I think the problem with that is if the General is made viewable again Google are likely to pick up on any problem posts and the whole thing would start again. The ad revenue is absolutely critical to the ongoing future of this site.

IF they are hard deleted then I'd assume it won't be for a while yet.

Colin129 · 22nd June 2011, 21:37

How about a file which has a list of all the thread titles in it that everyone could view?

Brophs · 22nd June 2011, 21:42

I really don't know much about vbulletin but I would be surprised if you can simply export every thread title to a file, especially given how many there are (tens if not hundreds of thousands, I'd guess). Then there's the issue of server speeds etc. as that sort of request would likely crash the site given the problems we sometimes had with even matchday traffic, whereas this would be mining the entire General for thread titles.

In short I'd be amazed if that can be done. Plus it would encourage people to see thread titles they liked the look of and ask for, which we'd then have to vet.

TheHorse'sMouth · 22nd June 2011, 21:58

Any thread CRAYFORDBOY has posted in..honestly. The thing I love about the general was the hellish arguments that went on between all the supporters 7-8 years ago. I found a few gems which never fail to amuse me but they've all gone now..

Team Brian GB · 22nd June 2011, 22:43

I would appreciate it if you could transfer my 'UK Cityscapes' thread over.

mehro · 22nd June 2011, 22:43

How much?

I typed out a bunch by hand before, but it's sorted by number of posts (which is probably a good thing). I'll see if I can find it.

Collina · 22nd June 2011, 22:54

Really, the musical thread should be moved quite quick. I know it's on the request list, but it's a thread that I think needs to be open now.

So at last a specific request from me.

Brophs · 22nd June 2011, 22:58

Musical thread?

WR · 22nd June 2011, 22:59

Already been done.

Burndogg · 22nd June 2011, 23:10

Brophs, are you lot gonna be doing this until all threads are finally moved?

Brophs · 22nd June 2011, 23:14

Nope. Far too time-consuming. Just doing some requests and the rest will get the bin, I think.

Burndogg · 22nd June 2011, 23:26

Can you not leave them three hidden forever until someone volunteers to do it?

Brophs · 22nd June 2011, 23:45

Them three?

And no, we won't be reading back through all of the nonsense for threads no one will ever read.

Burndogg · 22nd June 2011, 23:47

well....well fuck you then, you dick.

I didnt mean that.

I might of.

Burndogg · 22nd June 2011, 23:49

What you should do Braphfs, is let one person have access to it every week and let them do as much clean up as they can, and after a year whoever does the most gets a handy j or a tagline or newbie access or something.

Solius · 22nd June 2011, 23:49

Broph can we have Rate the regulars/newbs threads back up? Also footballers drawn in paint?

How come you can already link to the thread even though it isn't undeleted yet?

Can a mod move the "Caught someone trying to break into my house thread" - I tried to access it but it said I don't have access - can only assume this is due to the Bunker and subsequent General v.2.

Probably relevant to the new thread in the Current Event Forum on the guy who's been arrested for stabbing an intruder.
