Big Announcement!
This is to all members:
Lamont has always allowed you the option to delete your threads & Posts, unfortunately this has a NEGATIVE effect on the site in terms of search engines & its rankings.
The site is doing a lot better with some changes that i've already made, title, keywords, some forum names & description changes etc.
To help the site, im going to disable the option that allows users the ability to delete, which is actually only a soft delete anyways.
I know there is going to be some negative postings about this, but its a change that needs to happen, so you will have to live with this change.
The for sale/classifieds forum already had a change made to it to close a thread by marking it sold (i'm going to crush Cruzr Joe's feelings when i un-delete all his posts in there & mark em sold instead, so for my soul please!)
I will give thread creators the ability to CLOSE their threads, if they so choose.
Added Note:
If you're going to complain about this change, do NOT PM me about it, complain here in this post, while you still can.

good stuff!
this may help people realize the need to take time to think before they post and then, by posting responsibly, have no need to delete ill thought out posts.
if there is some burning desire to delete a thread, it can always be edited to remove/replace what was written

Valid points, users can always go back & edit their post.
There can be cases where Staff can remove a thread/post, but it must be for a valid reason, example; threats, personal info etc...

I have not stopped by this site in about a year.
So it sounds like Lamont not the site owner.
Is he OK did he retire?

Just go get wind therapy Joe! It's cheaper and more effective.

Hi AG,
Re: im going to disable the option that allows users the ability to delete
Will the two Mods be able to delete a post/thread?
If not, then why have Mods?

Hi Alaska,
Re: That will be our secret.
So, are you two the only ones who got the secret decoder ring?

mods will keep things from getting out of control between members (as has happened all too many times)
they will also move mis-posted threads to the correct subforums. This will help all of us here to learn to post a new thread in the proper place so those interested in a particular subforum won't be bothered with stuff that doesn't belong.
give them a chance, they're in a learning curve
