I almost hesitate to post this- becuase, if my suggestion was followed, I might end up being a junior lounger (or less).
But, there's some boards which do not seem to have a useful long term life.
Definitely, threads in meeting point, I feel are no longer relevant some time after the event. Perhaps leave a week after the event has finished- put them into cyberspace purgatory.
Perhaps Coffe Longe posts should last longer.
Should there be a mechanism to retire posts in *SOME* lounges past a certain amount of time?
My posts about a Cashflow game in Queanbeyan will be of absolutely no use to people who join the forum in six months' time.
Posts in coffee lounge about great limericks or movies will not be of lasting value either.
Should there be a limited lifetime in these forums (fora?)
And how should that affect the status of members who may have contributed a lot to these forums?
(Steve Navra, for instance, is one of the most solid people contributing to the forum. But his post counts are low overall- and most postst ahve been to "Meeting Point")
(On the other hand, I should not have permanent brownie points for posts about a Cashflow game which ended months ago)
