Gee Black Dog, way to kill a thread, some old threads need to drop off from time to time and discussed again with the newer guys.
The problem I have when I join a new forum, new to me that is, theres a million posts that I cannot read, every subject has been covered, I see no reason we can't cover the same thing over and over so that new members of the forum can partake in the active discussion.
Magazines do it all the time, they repeat articles all the time for the bennefit of new readers, and present them as new articles, actually they are new articles covering material previously covered a year or two earlier.
I say all posts not responded to in a given time get removed or moved to an archive folder, Except Tonars "How too" posts and To Include : CB, JacktheHack, DangerousR6, and a player to be named later, theres a ton of Info for all of us here that should stay active
