Cleaning Up Forums

[Kender Bard]

I'm really tired of looking at those "Moved: Blah" topics, so I'm going to be cleaning the forums of them. The only way to do this without getting negative post counts on the forum is to just delete the forum and remake it. Don't be alarmed; I'm moving all current topics into a temporary forum under the archives. Feel free to continue there. Once the forum has been remade, I'll move 'em back.

Just to say, if you just delete the "Moved: Whatever" topic and not the topic "Whatever," only the topic "Moved: Whatever" is deleted. The "Whatever" topic stays where it was.

...what? Reading that made me dizzy.

[shrikeswind]

Okay. To help you out, I'll create a thread in Naurorod called "To Khelek" with further instructions. Are you okay with this?

[Kender Bard]

Er, no, that's okay. I've already started this project, so I might as well finish in the same way.

Seems kinda senseless when you could just delete the "Moved:" topic. Doesn't do anything to the original.

[Kender Bard]

Oh I see what you mean.

No, it doesn't, but it causes a negative post count.

A Moved: topic counts as 0 posts. Delete it and now you have -1 posts.

[shrikeswind]

Ah, I see what you want to do. You want to get rid of the -1 posts, not just the "Moved:" topics. I see where you're going now.

[Kender Bard]

Yep yep.

[Kender Bard]

All done.
