I've actually been wishing I could do that. Far too much icy snow for the last month.

I don’t mind driving in snow - little slides here and there are manageable - but driving on ice scares me.

Speaking of throwing…

Fwiw, I've thought about occasionally pruning it down to just the most recent few pages.

Some forums automatically prune all posts older than x. I don't think it's necessary to prune old posts but there's also not much reason to preserve a thread full of random images.

Some of them will be even funnier in 5 or ten years. Assuming we last that long. Hard disk space is cheap.

Who is going to scroll through that many pages of our memes / jokes? (unless you're already actively following the thread as it happens)

Also, a lot of the videos and images are no longer available (linked from other websites).

That spider looks like a naked alien hanging from a tree by its four arms/hands to me. Lol

You'd be surprised. I'm slowly making my way through a couple of threads on survivalistboards.com that are really old, and probably a hundred or more pages (I forget how long; maybe a few hundred).


Maybe just delete the posts where the images no longer show up?

That'd be me. I looked back to see earlier material. Unlike some threads here it's good fun.

I haven't been able to follow the whole "railroad" thread or Msfreeh's epic news one

Yeah, maybe I'll do something like that (at some point). I appreciate the feedback from you and others.
