Maxwell, you have added much to this forum and you are respected here... We especially like your wacky avatars that seem to change weekly... I don't even care if you own a Crossfire... We appreciate your presence and the input you have...

 

Julian:

Obviously you have been doing some changes to the website... the format has changed... The "Other Cars" section has been removed... What's up ???

 

It hasn't been removed, it has been moved to the Off-Topic section, since it is "Off-Topic" from the board's main topic.

 

Sorry, I never get that far down on the main page.

 

Forums are public discussions and as such should never had portions deleted. You can't go back and delete part of a spoken conversation and I don't think you should be able to do so on a forum. In fact, I think giving forum members more than about 10 minutes to edit a post is overly generous as editing should be for nothing more than correcting typos, etc. Of course, use of spell check would negate editing altogether.

But deleting posts breaks the continuity of a discussion for future readers. I have gathered a lot of valuable info from reading old threads since buying my Crossfire just a few weeks ago. I can't image how irritated I would be if a bunch of those threads had big holes in them because someone felt their posts should be deleted just because they no longer own the vehicle being discussed.

 

I say don't delete the account, just give a new handle to the user name, strip the personal data (make it anonymous) and change the password or lock the account so no one can use it.

 

Being a forum moderator on many many forums in the past, I also voted no.

Changing status as stated above is great.

If a user is wanting to change their ID to another one and still be around, then I'd say yes, delete the account.

Also, you can always come back to it say a year later. If no activity after a year, then delete it...

I vote for keeping all threads complete and intact.

 

Exactly why I voted no.

 

MAXWELL... You don't need no stinkin' deletion!!!
Let your contribution to this great site continue on in the archives.
One day, down the road, come back and visit knowing you were a part of history.

I've had TWO Crossfires, sold them both and am now into something different, BUT...
I will ALWAYS be lurkin' out here!!

Keep Smilin'
