I would like to respectfully request that you new members (regardless of your intentions) obsevrve post dates and relevance to the topic at hand ( a little off topic is okay, but not in excess).
I know many of you are here for the Vista build, which is okay also. It is our hope that through this "treat" you will join this comunity and be an active part of it. Seriously, how hard is it to get 10 posts and have people join? You do not need to troll or dig up old threads.
Those of you that do this know who you are. However, on a positive note, I am happy to see you all. Thnx for joining, enjoy the site, and observe forum rules. We can ask no more of you.
Working with you,
The staff at x64bit.net

is it possible to lock the older topics after a certian amount
of inactivity or relevance? i see this "old topic mining" for post
count all to often. i think the idea of archived threads for research
purposes would kind of keep things a bit more fresh, and keep clutter
down. my two cents

That is not a bad idea...however, it is virtually impossible to lock older topics, it would be too tedious.
Therefore, I made this post
You are doing great m.oreilley, keep it up. I am not referring to you

IF we make it big like we are planning on then all the above may come in use.
Thanks

I don't think we need to close old topics. We need to keep every topic up for discussion to keep our diverse range of conversation open. There is no need to go to the communist way of saying I don't like this topic because it's too old and we need to close it.

I encourage members to post in older topics if thier qustions still have not been answered, its better than starting a new topic about an old subject!
