Pics on here

[baz]

I just had to prune 600 pics and 300 threads off here lads, I will be removing pics and spent threads (sold items) regularly from now on as its probably adding to the slowdown effect when theres more than 700 members online

Fair comment my friend, and those who don't like it can ask for a full subscription refund and move swiftly on . Do what you've gotta do mate, as we all understand and appreciate it . Atb: Gareth W-B.

Are you OK with links to pictures? They shouldn't slow anything down

Hi Baz, I fully understand you have to cull pics due to their use of bandwidth and as administrators when all's said and done you've gotta do what you've gotta do.

But with great respect would it be possible to remove non-airgun threads (total to date >44,000 threads/1774 pages) and keep the collectable threads (total <3,000 threads/114 pages)?

Isn't the valuable knowledge contained in collectables threads worth a lot more to the members than non-airgun threads from eg. November 2005? (See below for examples of thread titles):

Read the sticky "Pics on collectable airguns".....

I'm not going to comment further on this, having discussed it to death with Baz and, er, Gareth.

The BBS's owner is not keen on having pics appear in threads and obviously it's his call.

I will only say Neil that posting links to pics and having the pics appear (hosted elsewhere) automatically in your post are two different things.

Yep, and despite my cider-fuelled Devil's Advocate rhetoric of last night (), photos in collectables other than via links to click, is a non starter, and as this thread is one month off being a year old, for the sake of everyone's sanity, I am going to lock it off now, and let it drift, as the subject has to remain closed .
