Old Wc3sear.ch Posts

[1)ark_NiTe]

I am kind of annoyed by all these old posts from wc3sear.ch. Especially all their policy threads, ugh

 

[operator]

Yeah, and all the silly requests posts ;P

 

[Shados]

Yeah, I really reckon Ralle shoulda just taken the resources and mod accounts onto the Hive, then left a message at wc3sear's domain saying to come here, and all the people could sign up again etc. Most of sear's threads by this point are pretty much trash.

And if people complained, hell, they're getting a free service.

-*meow*

I agree. Especially lately at wc3search its all about flaming. Should have been deleted.

 

[brad.dude03]

I agree so as well. You wouldn't get all of these lame spam posts with tons and tons of pages that no one cares about. Have you seen the number of stickies in Off Topic!? You have to bloody scroll down to get any of the actual posts. Shados is right, that would have been the way to go, however it's to late now, and this is going to require a lot of cleaning up and damage control.

Agree with Shados...And have you noticed all the bots from wc3sear ?

 

[brad.dude03]

Exactly, because all of the bots can get into the Hive now since the anti bot system does not apply to the imported wc3sear users as they do not have the anti bot question posed to them. As soon as we round up these damned wc3sear bots we should be fine since no new bots can register with the Bob antibot system.

sure have. and MY requests posts?! that's why I asked for a Requests section so they wouldn't have to be scattered all over

 

[brad.dude03]

Meh, we need to do some major cleaning up, the forums are all a emss now with these random retarded wc3sear posts. What they should have done, if they were intent on importing the forums, was put all of the wc3sear posts in their own forums and then go through them, taking the useful posts out and putting them in their proper places in the Hive and deleting the rest and deleting the wc3sear temp forums at the end.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

I don't think the search posts should be removed.

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

I don't think the search posts should be removed.

I agree in saying that they ALL shouldn't be removed, but we definitely have some cleaning up to do. Especially all the Wc3sear.ch retarted Darky policies.

 

[HappyTauren]

Lets make a poll! "Should useless, spammed, few-person oriented posts be burned?" i would vote "Yesyesyesyesyes"

 

[operator]

Nah..

I think we should make all of the relieable people in our community forum mods. And then clean out all of the old and useless threads

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Again, I disagree. Keep the old wc3search stuff as it is, why clean up old dead topics anyways?

Just moderate anything new, the end.

So then we don't have sloppy, useless, ridiculous posts clogging up the forums and making you have to go through tens of pages to find good threads.

 

[brad.dude03]

I agree with Darrk nite on this one, the Trusted Members should go through cleaning. Hive gets junk, and it's left behind, but there is a rediculous amount of crap that has been recently added thanks to the merge and it needs to go. The admin/mod team is going to have a lot of work on their hands cleaning through all of the junk to get our forums neat and accessable again, instead of choked by spam and useless posts.

Threads do take up a great deal of space, and who wan's a huge messy forum ?

Not I, said the NiTe!

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

The forums were filled with junk before the merge aswell and as I stated earlier what does old dead threads matter? Do you actually randomly go through the pages and read topics for fun?

No, but I do like to be able to access older topics (in cases of reference for tutorials, older threads that someone else made that you can learn from, etc.) So it's nice to be able to get to them easy. I think the point we're making is just less mess, get all the bot/pointless/dead posts out of the way. Maybe a Graveyard for dead forums

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

All search and hive forums will be merged together eventually and everything will fall into place. No need to purge the search threads as hive contains alot of old trash topics aswell, just not in such a big amount as search since hive has always been smaller.

 

[brad.dude03]

Hive's members have always been less spammy/flamey in my opinion as well, but then again that's just my opinion. I supose Rage is right, it's just that all of these dead posts are curently sitting at the top, so eventually they will move down to make room for the new posts that are interesting and relevant. I hope.

 

[Shados]

Well for one thing they'd have to be taking up a fairly large amount of space, what with the huge number of posts and threads on wc3sear.ch. I've slightly changed my opinion, I reckon we should keep the tutorial threads and dump everything else, or almost everything else, anyway.

Yep, space is a huge issue as well. Wait, so Rage isn't the one in charge though right? The final decision would be up to Ralle I presume?

 

[ArcticInferno]

I think we should just dump the threads from wc3sear and just ask them to re-register and all.

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

this is getting repetitive lol

 

[Kimbo]

i say leave them as they are, just delete any that are really old or useless that are on front of hive forums rather than lock them.

and if you mean space on hive as in with other threads or as in file space..threads dont take much space at all in file size terms.

 

[Deleted member 126647]

I say clean up old useless stickies from search, like I'm doing in my section, but leave the old threads.

People can always use them as a reference. If people revive them then just close it.

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Threads and posts does not take up very much space, where did you ever get that idea from?

EDIT: I also agree with Chriz. on the stickies part.

 

[paskovich]

First of all, hello everyone!
I'm from wc3s, and i can assure you that there were many-many useless threads that can be deleted as they are trash, really. But not all of them! There were interesting and good issues. Just pick them, and delete the forgettable ones. If someone wants to read them, he will go to wc3s, as i think the forum threads will stay there.

 

[Deckboy]

I'm pretty much with dark on this one. . .although I might suggest Ralle adding a little icon or something by all the old wc3sear.ch threads(just to identify).

I do, however, like some of the threads, as they are interesting and I never got around to them om wc3sear.ch mainly due to the fact that it was SUCH a slow site. . .

Sure, it's a little messy right now, but hey, that's to be expected with such a large transfer.

[brad.dude03]

Very true. My opinion is now: Clean through and delete all of the creme de la crap.

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

and this is the point where I think a mod should close this thread! It seems like we've covered all there is to be covered on the topic and said all there is to be said.

 

[brad.dude03]

No need to close just stop posting

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

No need to close just stop posting

ok, 123 stop! :coolgrunt:

 

[Lunatechnick]

i think maybe the wc3s should get their own section, instead of all the crap just appearing here and there (sorry i havnt stopped)
