Lovejinder_LJ Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 I had this in my mind for quite some time now, there are many threads that eventually become pointless. For example: A thread showing the release date of a certain game but once the game has come out, that thread/topic becomes pointless. Deleting such out-of-date topics will help in better navigation of the forums section. It's not really a big deal but it helps, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damon8r351 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 When I post a game announcement thread, I eventually lock it after the release date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nenugalimas Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Its a convenient addition, but who is going to check all the threads for out of date ones? Deleting all old threads hardly seems a useful solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memnoch Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 The old threads are always used as a reference point in the worst case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amebapiko Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Old threads naturally fall down and don't get in the way after a certain period of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UndreyVITA Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Old threads shouldn't be deleted, I sometimes like going back to a thread and reading the reactions/opinions of people on something (like the release date of a game). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxleonardo97xX Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Old threads shouldn't be deleted, I sometimes like going back to a thread and reading the reactions/opinions of people on something (like the release date of a game). Exaclty my thoughts. No thread like that should be deleted (if it doesnt break the rules), for instance now these "thoughts on trophies" threads, I would like to see people's thoughts before actually playing the game and after they play it they can see how wrong or right they were. Imo it's cool to read old threads with different thoughts and feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to agree with you, sometimes we are going to see some Boosting Threads and you cant find nobody to help you, some of them are useless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shouldn't be making boosting topics anyway, that's what gaming sessions are for 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkthur Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It would be better if, after some time inactive, threads would go to some sort of graveyard where people can check then if they want. I don't think they should be deleted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satoshi Ookami Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Um... I agree with deleting threads that do no longer fulfill any purpose (like the mentioned release date threads or those in off-topic) to lower the load on server but on the other hand, some old threads still serve as information (especially those in specific games' sections or PSN sections) so... yes for deleting some, but it would have be carefully chosen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandererster Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 It would be better old threads get locked at a certain point in time instead of being deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To lower the load on the server load is the main reason this needs to be implemented but. I say again, not much of a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
