Re: Old Thread Deletion
Can't you just reduce the length of the Segue thread like is done with the Superhappyfun thread? Both threads are the same in that you can pick up anywhere and not miss the jist of the thread.
Also, I know nothing about these things, but would deleting threads that had less than say 10 replies be helpful? I can't imagine any threads reached "epic" status that didn't get past page one.

Re: Old Thread Deletion
I think if you delete the few St. Louis Blues threads I'd have about 37 posts.

Re: Old Thread Deletion
Folks, if you don't want to see certain threads go away, just nominate them for the archives.

Re: Old Thread Deletion
I think it would be interesting to compile statistics on historical threads: median thread length, lifetime, average views per post, threadkillers, notable outliers, etc. Don't let this wealth of data go to waste!

Re: Old Thread Deletion
It would be interesting, but I don't have the tools to do it. Besides, the data got dirty once we switched to phpbb 3.0 because I accidentally deleted a lot of threads.
