Hi everyone -

We'll be deleting 1 year and older threads from the Everything Else forum starting at the end of the week, so if there's any content you want to save - book or movie reviews, health topics, etc. - now is the time.

The easiest way to save content is to copy and paste into a Word or Word-type document. Let me know if you need any help.

Thanks!
Colleen

Thanks for the heads up. Will any of the other forums' older posts be deleted?

girasoli -
The EE forum is the only one we delete content from. Notice at top of forum: "Content is deleted after one year."

It was always intended as a 'short term' forum ... we just didn't keep up with cleaning out old threads!

Colleen

***edited to add: Ooops! We also clean up the "For Sale/Trade/Exchange" forum when a transaction is completed. Threads from the "Testing" forum are also deleted.

Thank you Colleen. I want to go "waaah", but with this information I can go cut/paste in stead ... and will. W.

Wow, I am really losing it! All this time, I was thinking you were referring to the Everything About Travel forum. I even went back and thought I was having vision problems since I was not seeing the "Content is deleted after one year" anywhere. Now I get it! Eek

REMINDER:
Friday is clean up day for the EE forum ... Copy whatever you want from threads older than January 2007 ... before they're gone forever!

I came across this one - on my page 68 - today and wanted to just pop it here for enjoyment sake.

Wendy - that was hilarious. I notice that the mods allowed for greater 'lattitude' back then! Happy

Wendy - thanks so much for posting that thread! It first appeared pre-ST for me, and was a delight to read! It should certainly be saved for posterity as part of the history of ST and its exalted ruler.

Hi Judy -
If you look at the top of the thread that Wendy linked to, you'll see it's from the Italy forum.

We're only deleting threads in the non-travel Everything Else forum ...

Did you all notice Pauline's special title and personal icon next to her posts? Queen Pauline

That's okay, Judy -- that post must pre-date the creation of the EE forum, or it would have been there!

Is this what you were looking for? Doh
