To preserve your post counts, all threads that are over 1 year old will automatically be locked. The time that is used is the date of last post, not the date the thread was created.
This excludes MOST of the Download section.
Threads that are within forums that do not increase your post count may get deleted over time.
Will this include the Contest Section? Apparently the 1000 or so posts I've just lost were from the Contest Section being cleaned out and I'm just wondering if my post count is going to continue to fall since 90% of my posts are in the Contest Section ^^
If post count increase is yes then locked instead of deleted.Quote:

else, deleted.
You're welcome to delete these threads made by me. I don't need them, so there is really no point in locking them; it's a waste of space.

Just got around to chasing this down. Any chance the Download section might be entirely excluded from the auto lock? I can see closing discussions, but downloads strike me as a different category. New host sites crop up, old host sites become less attractive... and yes, periodically SaveFile self-destructs.Quote:

But shouldn't all downloads be gathered in one thread for a given project?
Might we might reconsider auto-lock for the Download forum? Many thanks.
Closed threads where I've been maintaining my posts:

http://www.aarinfantasy.com/forum/f1...ga-nai-no.html
http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f258/t...clown-ost.html
Sure, I've opened those threads and excluded that forum. If anyone sees any old thread being closed in forums where it shouldn't, please do inform.
Thank you kindly for the speedy reply! Much appreciated. The ANK OST thread is editable again, but Murphy's Law smacked the other two, which remain closed:
- http://www.aarinfantasy.com/forum/f1...ga-nai-no.html
- http://aarinfantasy.com/forum/f258/t...clown-ost.html
Thanks so very much for your help. I'm not very active in the community, but being able to tend my little patch of DL links makes me feel I'm contributing in a small way. Now if only SaveFile would come back online so I can assess the damage...
EDIT 12-23-09 - only the http://www.aarinfantasy.com/forum/f1...-nai-no-11616/ thread (updated URL) remains locked...
I'm not entirely sure that this is the right place to ask, but would it be possible to re-open this thread here?

I have just finished translating this doujinshi into English and found it ironic that it was marked as 'closed', but I felt that it would be wrong to start a new thread for a shared project so I lurked around first and found this thread!
No hurry, but it would be really great if it could be unlocked! :)
The thread is opened for posting.:)Quote:

Um, is this feature still be implemented? The reason I ask is because I noticed my post count went down. I thought that in threads that increased our post count, they would be auto-locked instead to preserve our post count rather than deleted? Not really a big deal, I'm just curious. And sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
I think the post count goes down when the staff sometimes go through and deletes threads and such. I could be wrong on this but I get a big decrease in my posts every so often. One day a couple weeks ago I lost over 50 posts somehow. I figured it was just some pruning of the threads :maikka: I sure hope that was the case...I still have yet to get back up to the post count of 4071 that I know I was at, at least :lonely:
:XD:
so that's why my post count went from over 7100 to what it is now =________=
the gap is nearly 500 posts O_O
Yes, I had been pruning stuff and need to update or refresh the stats or counter.
A lot of it has been taking up space and has been auto-locked for a very very long time without any visits to that thread, so those will be pruned. This allow more space for new threads and updates, and also to look neater. It doesn't happen very often but when I do, I usually prune/delete quite a lot.
Thanks for your understanding ^^
Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation. :)
Ang-san or Dai-kun, piggy-backing on the maintenance issue for Downloads:
Is all the GeneralVideoANIME download section now unlocked? Or is it being done on a case-by-case basis?
This is just something I've been doing, because it works for me as a downloader to encounter fewer dead links.
When I'm in the download area, I've been watching for places that have accumulated dead links. I send occasional messages to active uploaders whose space it is, or to Ang-san, so dead links can be removed. Sometimes uploaders have replaced episode breaks, forestalling the need for a new Request in the Request thread.
Hi kinsugi
Are you referring to the General Anime download section? I can't find a General Video download section unless you are referring to the Video Streamig Section >_<.
Thanks for all the PM on the dead links I received from you. I have yet to delete the latest PM dead links you send me and I will be able to do only after my company's peak (after August).:(
Normally all download section are exempted from auto-locked (Yoai or General), the threads are locked normally if there are too many spam posts.
Hope that answer your query.
Oops, yes, I meant anime... I had been up all night when I typed that! Thanks, I'll continue as before, then. It's never-ending, but makes me feel a bit useful. :XD:
May I request this thread to re-open please????
