MetaPost comments and questions about the messageboards and other parts of EN World. If you have a problem, this is where to go. Moderator email addresses are posted here.
I'd like to copy threads that are worth saving into the archive. As a result, I'd like you to please provide links to the thread in this thread.
Please don't bump the old thread up just so I can find it! Instead, just cut and paste the url, and I'll see about archiving the things you want to save.
Suggestions while hunting:
1. I'd like to archive the good threads from all forums, not just General.
3. Anyone can click on the orange headings to sort by title, thread starter, # of replies, etc.
4. At the bottom of the screen, change the number of days to see more than a few days back.
5. Please use your best judgment when deciding what you think should be saved. Primarily, will it be useful for other folks? That's what I'll ask myself when I do the archiving.
Thanks! Post any questions here.

PLEASE everyone, do as two others in this thread have done and supply a summary or the name of the thread with the link.
I'm not meaning to be rude, but I'm not about to go searching for worthy threads, just to waste PC's time by seeing duplicate link after duplicate link.
1. That those posts in a thread that do not substantially add to the discussion or discussions be culled.
2. That provision be made for additional postings to an archived thread. With the new postings being moderated in the traditional sense. That is, the posting being vetted by a moderator for appropriateness, and those postings that pass muster being placed in the thread.

Wow. PC's already got his work cut out for him just going through all the suggestions in this thread and archiving them. Now you want him to go through each of the threads marked for archival, read each and every post and delete those that don't come up to snuff ...

Actually, PC is just one of many that have the ability to do this. If PC wants to archive threads, then great, but one or more of the others could easily assist him (and those of us that peruse the archives) by eliminating the off-topic posts that detract from otherwise great threads.
Hell, certain peeps could be allowed temporary mod status just for this purpose if the current mods aren't interested.
