Oh, great. Now I'll have to back up my threads that I've put a lot of work and pride in and I still reference to this day. I mean, unless they're already deleted. Thanks lots.

I mean... why is my hard work going to be possibly put into an OSP bundle for the community to use from, when I can just have my threads as reference for people who need them? If I allow someone to use my content, I can just give it to them. Are these threads so valuable that they can't be left untouched?

If the purpose is to clear up server space rather than clean up and make it look "tidy" (which I really don't think is necessary), why not just clear all of the replies and such so that the threads themselves can stay there, locked, but without any replies passed the regiment reserves?

Idk. I kind of don't like this. Seems pointless, and has negative traits. None of which I'd think "being tidy" would balance out.

Perhaps you could let people say "leave my ____ thread(s)", and have the other threads (that are maybe made in a couple of minutes and were for regiments that are long since passed and have no significant value as their members have all disappeared into other regiments or left the community without any trace) deleted? Some of the threads on the forum hold value to people, even like the "25th regiment of foot horse grenaiders," which has provided countless laughs for so many people.

Just my two cents...

EDIT: BUT FOR GOD SAKES DON'T LET PEOPLE USE OTHER PEOPLES' HARD WORK WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION

Why would you quote that whole block of text, your reply is right under it -_-

I don't mind redundant threads, people need to learn how to forum.

Spoiler
People who quote the OP on the first reply deserve to die.

Oh you wanted a serious response, why didn't you just say so.

I'll be right back, I'll just be e-mailing 200 people who haven't played this DLC in the last year and half.

Nevermind, not worth it. Not doing it now.
