sure it seems messy at first. but it's like a messy room, you know exactly where to find things and if you tried to organize it you wouldn't know where to look anymore.
exactly
and like a messy room, the joy you get when u find something in that mess which you thought was lost long ago

I fourth numnums. And here on Esato when you ask another question in a started thread it'll get answered while on other forums they only answer the original question. And that is what makes Esato so great :-D

Good would be if a mod could paste a new thread into an old one that matched the topic, so you could find all related info in one thread.
We tried that some time ago with no sucsess.
What we tend to do now is linke two ways; Link the locked topic to the existing one and add a comment in the existing topic reffering to what we have done, if we find it nessesary.

Heaven forbid that someone should offer an opinion! The chap merely made a point (quite a valid point I have to say) and he is dragged over the coals by other members.
I for one would like to see some of the silly threads, which have been locked, deleted. Take a look at the Esato Forum itself, the first page is full of locked threads, which could easily be deleted.
I don't agree with the idea of locking older threads, they are among the only threads that contain posts from people I recognise!
Kudos to the chap for raising this point though!

I agree that an already locked thread should be deleted within a day or 2 of it being locked.
Esato is not exactly a mess though. Keep both eyes open, watch your step and you will find your way around with ease

deleted, not archived. every archived thread takes up useless server space

but a locked thread may be the only repository of a specific piece of information on this forum, so leaving it will allow memebers to find that information rather than having to post another thread for requesting something which has previously been provided.
likewise, locked threads which link to other threads widen the search parameters that can be used to find certain information due to the differences in terminology used about the same or inter-related topics.

agreed.... but i do believe tha arghument was 'threads that are locked but really should be deleted', which I interpret as: threads that have absolutely nothing to offer and no informational value for the forum
