Forums Getting Messy

Feedback:

I made a suggestion a while ago about the "/Events" area having heaps of threads from last century and an "/Events Archive" was created, great fantastic!!

The problem is their is currently over 220 threads in the "/Events" section when their should only be around 20 (the other 200+ are all from earlier this year). It makes it quite time consuming and hard to work out what events are actually on soon and what was on 2mths ago when you have you go into each thread etc etc.

I think more people would attend these posted events if it was easier to navigate by having ONLY the future "/Event" threads actually listed and the rest thrown into the "/Events Archive" basically, it's not being looked after.

I'm happy to volunteer my time (for the NSW Section atleast). Gotta do something to keep me occupied when doing those niteshifts at work

Hey Mate,

We have enough people in that area now, but i'll pass that on, thanks!!

we do keep tracks of that Ben but the main move with events is the calendar

we're trying to encourage everyone to use it more than the events forum

and I just checked it and there are 6 events in there at the moment, the rest are in event archive, it's been like that for a few days now

I can see 180 threads (including sticky's). Can't be 180 future events over the next few months posted is their ? Most of them are from 2003

wtf??

**PranK** · July 8, 2004

ben, you may have your view set to show threads 'from all time' which would date back before we introduced the archive.

Well how about that, never noticed those bottom settings before

Guess you learn something everyday and here it is only 1:30am

I still think the threads should be moved as soon as they are "past" tho Or maybe rename it to /Future Events + /Past Events etc so that as soon as an Event is over (eg: Putty Rd) the discussion continues on in the /Past Events area

which ones Ben??? they're all current and if there's discussion happening regularly in an event thread fro mthe past then it remins there until discussion stops for over 5 days
