I hope there is a delete option to allow me to reuse detective names that I have screwed up in the past. Having this should also allow the game to do some housekeeping cause I believe the number of inactive detectives by now should be enormous.

Definitely don't delete old ones just because they're inactive - their players wouldn't deserve that. I just commended the idea of having the option for a user to scrap one to start new.

I apologize Temperance for misinterpreting your statement.

I HATE these old threads being brouht up. And quite frankly the majority of them are like an "inside joke" and not that amusing or entertaining to read.

Its dull and boring. This community is so creative I dont know why the past has to be dredged up.

Yes, I'm in total agreement with LED, cfm et al too :-) Let's keep what we have and keep looking over our shoulders all the time.

Things are back to normal now.

I think that its nice to look back on stuff dont get me wrong but aftor a while i think some threads should be deleted or if someone whats to take the time put them somewhere else like make a new message board but some of them are fun to look at

But... "inside jokes" are fun, too, for the people inside them. Maybe not for the general public, granted, but it's still nice to keep Sleuthville's histroy present...

As much as I enjoy going back in time on my own, I have to admit that I'm not a big fan of seeing a lot of the old threads being brought back up to the top, UNLESS there are new threads being created on the subject.

There is a lot of wisdom in the old threads that newbies would do well to read through. Explanations of why things are the way they are, what changes have been made to the game, etc. I spent a great deal of time in them when I first started here. (Once I got past my intial boardphobia.) :)

As for the inside jokes, most of us are happy to fill you in if need be! :D

ok ok what about the newbie threads alot of them are just repeats.

Aug-20-2006 01:12

We will not delete old threads. We like having the history around.

Old threads do not take up much space on the server.

Aug-20-2006 03:27

Oh right I thought that the threads take ALOT of space but if they dont i dont mind keeping them.

The goddess has spoken!

We should all leave now
