This forum will serve as the resting place for topics that match any of the following criteria:

 - They contain intentionally misleading or incorrect information.
 - They're useless/rubbish/junk/etc.
 - They're written in a foreign language.

After a suitable period of time has passed, each topic will be permanently deleted. You can use the time inbetween to grab anything you want from the topic.

This will mean there are a few improvements to the board:

 - Pages will load faster because there's less stored in the database.
 - Search results will return posts of higher relevance.
 - Browsing will be easier due to the smaller number of topics.

If you think a topic doesn't deserve to be deleted, post a message in that topic with an explanation.

If you have any comments or suggestions about this forum, post them in this topic.

Would it be possible to exclude posts from this forum when searching all forums?

Elxxy:

A while ago I was thinking about a system where the board is completely user controlled. Along the lines of:

* Users would vote on the value of topics and ones that were deemed to be rubbish would be deleted/locked.

* Users would vote on members they don't like and those members would get banned.

* The administrator team always stays the same, since they have reasons for being administrators (site owner, hosted sites, forum creator...)

* Users would vote for people to become moderators over a period of three months and at that time the current moderator team would be replaced with the voted ones (or stay the same if they were voted again). Then the votes would be reset and it would start again.

And so on.

It was one of those ideas where you can instantly think of a million reasons why it's the worst idea ever and the most fantastic idea ever.

So the answer to your question is: maybe sooner than you think if I ever implement that :P

Heh. Very interesting. I'm hovering on that one, but thinking no. That would undoubtably cause some arguments and maybe even a civil war or something in the forum. Interesting idea though.

I managed to get the bomb behind the crates (on dust 2), on that little ledge. The CT's kept falling off itso I just lauged. I was dead, by this point. They shot me as i defended the bomb.

Best Map? Hmm, i'd go for the trainyard. Its pretty well balanced actually.
