[QUOTE]Alright, since there has been no real objection to starting new threads, I'm going to go ahead and do it but first I want to establish who's starting the new threads because I don't want a mad house of new threads when I close them.

Threads that will be restarted:
Black Metal
This thread (I'll post the new one?)
Death Heads
Classic Rock
Folk/Viking (Stormrider331)


let me know if I missed any threads over 10k posts and post if you have thoughts on who should post the new versions of these threads. Thanks.[/QUOTE]
wouldn't it be easier if you started the new thread right after you close the old one? you could just copy the first post from this thread.

Close please :)

Dude, why do we need a new problems thread?!?

Same reason we close any non-problematic thread...size?

Thats dumb.

Jac: *shrug* Ok if you like slow servers I guess it is...


SOP: Jason and I are buds there will be no heartache. (Don't hate me Jason :(:(:()

I could make a new Death heads if you'd like.

LEAVE THE DEATH HEADS ALONE FOR GOD'S SAKE! :eek:

It's the oldest thread around, started back in 2002. It's classic :(

The death heads should only be closed and a new one started if you can find Azagthoth and make him start the new one.

Indeed Jondur! This guy is a legend. He left the forums a long time ago and people still remember him. Also, if you read the first few pages you'll see that he's put a lot of effort in order to keep the thread alive. And it's always sweet to have newbies in the thread saying that "Nevermore ain't death metal" only to hear that they just quoted a 5 year old post :D

Leave the death heads thread open for chrissakes. It's a bastion of the forums; it's been there for five years. That's longer than most marriages. It seems like closing it would be really sad and futile.

if this is so, keep the death head thread...

Still; it's a ****ing thread.

Yeah but it's cool.

Faster servers > posterity tbqh

Having a big thread on the server doesn't really affect server speed except within that thread, as far as I can tell.

I suggested we close and restart the first community thread because it had something like 60,000 posts, and was at the point where the search function just couldn't work within it. I'd rather the death heads thread stayed as it is, and a 10,000 post thread is hardly anything, especially when it's as relatively rarely used as this one.

No one had any trouble closing the original classic rock thread >:[

I guess Vince is just trying to act smart but really he doesn't know anything about technology!

No the draw on the bandwidth of a server affects the bandwidth of a server period. It's not like the server has individual bandwidth for each thread =\ What you notice as a user is the loading times and yes that is only noticeable in larger threads but the strain on the server still exists.

But I dunno if everyone's going to throw a fit I'm not going to do anything *shrug*

jake: If you want me to write a detailed description of how the server works I can give you one but I really don't see a reason to explain the propogation of bits and such. Just because you can't see soemthing doesn't mea it doesn'h happen...especially in the computing world.

I'd say Vince's last comment is especially relevant in a technological society !!

I just noticed how many typos I made in there...buh.


Kage: :(?

I'd like to see the death heads thread remain just because it's like a veteran of a past time, filled with more hope than these dark days.

And this thread only has 14 000 posts. :-/

I have nearly 14 000 posts Vince. Does that mean when I get them you'll take me out the back and shoot me? Huh?
