Grounbreaking Idea!

You should have 50 threads per page instead of twenty, and if your thread reaches 51 from lack of veiwing it gets deleted from the forums. People keep saying ''this thread already exsists, check before posting''. Well nobody has the patience to look at the second page, especially not the third, lol. Good threads tend to stay on the first page, and that's with only 20 of them! So this would be a cool thing to have, to keep this forum clutter free. And if you had a popular thread that got deleted because it went unused for a while; re-thread.

You need to understand how forums work. If I made a thread knowing that if it fell below 50th it would be erased, I would continue to keep it up there, making sure it wouldn't be erased.

Why this doesn't happen is that all these threads are archiving so that they can be viewed even if the posting in a topic falls.

You know there is a search button right? If someone want to know if the thread already excists they can just search.

Another valuable point, though I don't believe the search button is used enough. People just create their own threads regardless.

Doesn't archiving make a site slower givin' time? Also, why can't you delete a thread you've made? Only the posts in it.
