Cleaning out IJBM

I would have bumped the thread I made about this weeks ago, but I didn't want people to think "God, you're still bitter about that?".

I'm just asking, are they going to be a routine occurrence now?

Will there be a regular clean-out schedule, or will it just be a "whenever it needs it" kinda deal?

Any threads that haven't been posted in over 60 days get deleted.

Whenever it needs it. We aren't going through every day and clearing out all the threads that are over sixty days since the last response. It was done because there were over 80 pages of threads, at 100 threads to a page — 8000 threads. Taking it back to the just threads that had gotten a response in the last two months still left 23 pages — 2300 threads.

When needed, or every other time Fast Eddie is sober enough to figure out how to work the thing.

Happened again.

Why aren't we told when they're about to happen, so we can bump our favorite threads? (Sorry if I sound rude, I don't mean to)

The only thing that got zapped was stuff that wasn't sticky and hadn't had an entry in over 30 days. A thread in IJBM that has been touched for 30 days isn't really a favorite, I'm thinking.

Apparently someone in IJBM made a IJBM thread about the recent action. [lol]

And I went there for the first time to express my stance on gay rights. It turned into a discussion about beer mustard.

There have been weirder derails. As long as it's not related to sex/a flame war, it's going to be tolerated for the most part.

Are you sure beer mustard isn't about sex?

So my point is, some people must be mad about the cleanup.

So? People get mad about everything. It was pretty civil, actually.
