Why are forums archived?

[cover drive man]

It seems pretty weird (no offense) But wouldn't it be easier to just delete the forum.

No, there's no reason to have them deleted at all. If someone wants to look at posts from the past, they should be able to.

You could just send James an email asking him something like this rather than starting a thread cdm

It could be a question what other people might want answering.

Or in this case what everyone probably knew

Perfectly fair question. It's like the old antiques at a shop that are behind ropes and you aren't allowed to touch - I find it a bit frustrating sometimes.

Actually AWTA, astonishingly. Hate it when you can't touch archived forums - though as to the original question - delete 'em?!?!?! Yo mad? They're precious parts of forum history, all (even the non-cricket-related ones), no way can they be deleted.

What the hell does AWTA mean anyway?

The opposite of DWTA, TBH.

Making sure he doesn't lose his seat of course

Very good question actually. I don't see why they can't be left open. If people want to discuss things from the 2003 WC for example or dig up a post to make a comment on it (especially if it was a prediction), they should be able to IMO.

 

[GIMH]

Some of the digging that goes on is excessive enough though

But why differentiate between threads in ordinary CC and threads in the World Cup forum for example? I don't see why one should be diggable and the other not so.

 

[Jono]

I like the fact that they're kept/archived, but I do think we should be able to post in them. I've wanted to post in the 2003 one before, but couldn't.

As Prince said, I see no difference between digging a post in CC from 2003 compared to the WC forum.
