Can you make it so that threads that have been inactive for six weeks are removed so that ppl who r new cannot be charged with bumping an old thread. It is just an idea.

The reason why threads aren't removed or deleted is because they can still answer a question or the OP might have something to add to it at a later date in time. It would also be good if you guys checked the date before you post in a thread that way you won't be charged with bumping an old thread.

Nobody gets "charged" with bumping old threads. If they continually do it, they can be warned to stop, and if it still continues, an infraction can be given, however it is very simple for people not to bump old threads. It's simply looking at the dates.

Also your idea is counterproductive

If only 200 penis question threads remain browseable then it will not be enough to calm down the 1 time posters who will be required to then create their own penis size question threads, just to be sure that their pecker is in normal shape/size, angle, complexion

As said here (http://www.virtualteen.org/forums/showthread.php?t=37684), 'We keep them there because it can still answer questions for future users. However we expect that members won't post in them, as per the rules.'

Lol, you really dont like P101 dont you and also it is just a matter of dates, just the newcomers probally dont realize someone who posted a thread a year ago would of gotten his answer by now.

Quite right, and as it was already mentioned, the original poster might have something to add later on. Occasionally, a bump on an old thread is welcomed by the original poster and community if the bump is actually quality content and/or if the post answers a point of the thread that has not been addressed yet.

That is why all of the older threads are not automatically deleted, locked, or fried in vegetable oil.

Lol, umm I think a lot of new members just doesn't know about the rule or what it actually means.
Then the next people is not paying attention to dates.

I think that the original idea is...not a very good solution. I think the ultimate solution is....

READING THE RULES!!!!!!

(And following them)

What a concept!?

Let's cut the crap about the rules. We know they exist. We know that they should be followed. And most of all, we know that not everyone is going to read them. I think it would be more productive to explain why everything is coordinated the way it is rather than telling someone to read the rules.
