Too Many Forum Boards - Outdated Threads - Let's Delete Boards

[348Judah]

There are too many forum boards, which in fact not needed. Like Bitcoin Dissussion - all child boards - Press, Meetups, Important Announcements. In Important Announcements - all threads are outdated. Or in Meta - New forum software and Bitcoin Wiki - threads are also outdated. And much more forum boards need deleted.
Good example - In Important Announcements first page newest thread is from 2018, majority from 2013.
Much less forum boards can give a lot more info for members, which is not so complicated and not outdated.
Hope forum admin give me higher rank for good suggestion. 

Maybe i should assume that someone like you don't have something to be posting there and you need to understand this that on this forum you can't be everywhere, you have to post where you think you have something to offer, I don't expect each boards to have that traction as you expected because of the specific purpose it was created, some are suggesting additional boards while other are bringing reduction in their numbers, everyone coming with his own risk.

You may have raised a valid point on your suggestion to deleting some boards but if you look at it, I feel each board was created to serve a purpose and while you feel they may be outdated, some newbies can come on and find something useful from it. It's unfair to just wake up and suddenly brush their irrelevance when you're still practically a newbie. Hey, you might argue that change doesn't have to do with ranks, but then again, some things can't just be changed just because you feel an update is needed or you've got a brilliant idea how the forum should be run. So what, if this is implemented, what new upgrade will you be itching to implement? This leads me to believe you will completely revamp this forum were you in charge, huh? Maybe your role model is Elon Musk.

Dude, there's so many ways to rise in ranks, not this pitiable excuse.

I don't see any valid point in deleting some boards. Why delete entire boards, if there is an opportunity to archive or close topics that have become uninteresting, or have been answered those questions that were raised in them? The boards, in turn, are much more extensive and touch on a large number of topical issues. No one will delete them, it doesn't make any sense. It feels like the OP simply didn't want to search and figure out how the system works here.

So far board removing action is not yet taken so far. deleting full board will result in lose of so much data and there is chance that we would loss useful data also. There is option available for report to moderator , If you think that any thread should not be on this forum more than samply report it. If admin agree and feel like you, he will delete it .

instead of deleting boards is best you say dead or old post that are not relevant to be deleted insteed

It is not easy to delete all old post. many thread in service, bounties section are totally inactive and no chance of activity in the future but still these Thread are useful to check the scammers/alts and other useful information. similarly many threads, inactive for long time contains idea of members which is I think somehow helpful and shouldn't be deleted.

If anything happens to a board, sub board, topics and posts in that board will be moved to Archival board.

It those topics and posts are deleted, they will still be stored in forum database, offline. They won't be lost forever, first stored in live servers, later will be stored in offline backups.

About forum privacy policy

Deleted posts and trust ratings, as well as their edit histories

Kept on the live server for a couple of years; then probably kept indefinitely in backups
Don't publicly post things that you might not want to exist forever

I know but I believe that if the head of the table wants something to be done about it, it must be done, they know how to do things in the right manner.
Is never easy but since the OP want us to do things to his own bidding then we have no choice than to give him what he wants or better still he should do it him self.
But to be frank with you, any thread that's not of use like those locked threads (I mean the ones that are not useful)  should be removed, that's what the OP should have said.
