LifeNRA Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 I apologize for starting the Useless post called "Let See If We Can Break The Record". It was meant only as a joke. The posts called "Name That Tune" made me think of this! But in light of wasting server space I feel other long and drawn out post are wasting the server space as well! Sorry but I feel singled out here. It doesnt feel too great either! Once again, I apologize! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherguy Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! I apologize for making the post go so far. I already PM'd jcwa to apologize. I didn't think about the server space aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LifeNRA Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! But thing is this too, I told a MOD to lock it early on! But they didnt! Why did they then all of a sudden feel the need to lock it! I guess I am a little upset, dont know why really. Just dont make any sense to let it go like they did then out of the blue...

buckee Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! Deleting would have been a better idea for sure. It's mostly pictures that use up server space quick and locking it doesn't clear up any space at all. Don't feel single out John, it's no big deal. If they start posting pics in the other long threads, they'll get axed as well...LOL Hey, it was fun while it lasted eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted November 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! Well Steve, I do feel that other threads need to be locked up as well. But then we are talking about the forum that doesnt think we can HANDLE POLLS EITHER! Then, thats another topic too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BowtechTurkeyHunter Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! personlly i thought it was funny server space is importnt ...sorta but I bet if you tallied all the one liner responces like "great deer" or "congrats'in a single post now that is server space too only difference is its in a different thread personally lockin it doesnt free any space on the server its sorta like deleteing something on windows then not emptying the recycle bin lol its still using the space... it should be deleted if it truly was the reason they gave you it makes no sense that it takes seer space if they can lock they can delete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snapper Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! Most "useless" posts don't get deleted right away because we (mods) figure they will just die and go away. Lets face it, a post to set a record of reply's is a waste of space. When we use server space, it slows the site down and then everyone is complaining to Scott and Clint to fix it. As far as the "one liners", those posts are hunting related and the folks who post their results like to be congratulated and share their story and pics. with friends. Don't feel singled out, its no big deal. There are posts deleted or edited every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcwa Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! [ QUOTE ] Sorry but I feel singled out here. It doesnt feel too great either! [/ QUOTE ] LifeNRA, you were not singled out. No one is picking on you. The mods discussed the post and it was locked. [ QUOTE ] I already PM'd jcwa to apologize. [/ QUOTE ] fisherguy, there is no reason to apologize to me. I'm don't really understand what you were even apologizing for. I just want every one in the forum to under stand that the Moderators of this forum are here to try and keep this forum running smooth for everyones enjoyment. Think back about all the complaints about how slow the forum is, or I keep getting a error when I try and post. There are reasons why we (Mods) lock, move, or even delete a post some times. We want everyone to enjoy the forum, but we have a job to do to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimT Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! How dare you! lol...........It does not bother me at all. After the record is broken it could be deleted. I guess I do not see the big deal either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! What was "the record" anyways? Did we break it? Who cares? If server space is an issue then go and deleted the 70% of user names that have not posted in 3 years, or why is it some room have 39 pages of recent open history still listed and others have 4 posts total when I know I posted there last week? The Search button can find anything that was saved and backed up. Start thinning that out too. JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fisherguy Posted November 21, 2004 Report Share Posted November 21, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! On the note of weeding out crap, the original "LEts set the record for teh most posts" is over twice as big as teh recent one. Maybe that should be deleted along with other stuff nobody is ever going tobe doing a search for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: I apologize!!! I know how we can save server space! Instead of using colons in our punctuation, let's just use semi-colons! That ought to free up a terrabyte or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
