Trog, can you add a line of code to the forums that changes the background colour of a post to a dark red, if it was posted over a year ago?

I am tired (and feeling a little stupid) after reading parts of these old threads that keep surfacing for some reason. Also when nubs drag up ancient history with useless posts.

Please

or just deny the bumping post in the first place or something.

Not a bad idea. There was a really old thread (from 2002?) that was displayed on the first page this morning - I forget which one.

Strange thing was there were no new posts in it.

Ut2003 i believe. i remember having an awesome radeon 9700 pro that ran it totally kick ass. anyway back on topic..

Yeah, that was the one.

it'd be nice if this forum could put a bit more 'un' in my life

Or just make the threads auto lock after 6 months. If there's something relevant to add to it, post a new thread & link to the original?

Actually that makes a lot of sense. Like an archive thingamajig.

auto lock is what they do on many forums. whoop is a veteran.

It would be cool if the older the thread got the more tattered it looked.

new forum idea: split qgl from ausgamers

doob wins

another handy feature i have seen is a 24 hour delay after registration.

Yeah, the delay is top notch. Good luck advertising your churros, ping reduction services and clan auditions then. Like a cooling off period ;-)

and a minimum post count before you can post links or pictures

a six month waiting period before you can create threads would be more than reasonable

thats a fantastic idea insom, hey lets also make the new posters write a 1000 word essay about what they would be bringing to qgl and why we should let them post here.

Reminds me of trying to join the OCAU clan in Warhammer online. They literally wanted you to write an essay about what you would be bringing to the guild.

^ lol, wtf?

delete qgl, close ausforums. anarchy reigns. ~~reckoning is nigh~~

no dancin, that will not solve anything. anarchy will reign but there will also be no funnehs

ban the n00bs

It would be cool if the older the thread got the more tattered it looked.

This would be awesome! But yeah, locking after 6 months is probably more reasonable.

Top marks there James :)

i reckon ban people with post counts over 2000, for having no life.......

but the make a new thread with link to old thread idea sounds the bestest imo.

ha coming from someone posting on Queensland Gamers League..

ohhh raids your sooooo oldschool bro.

Fkn aye man, i was like 10 at my first qgl lan :d

Sounds like putting in an application for a corp in Eve :)

try looking at the date the posts were made on you f***ing moron... (here is a hint, if the last post was made in 2002 you can assume its an old thread)

ineffective

Good point on the colour change Lynx ... but realistically I don't see it happening... Although it would be convenient i'm sure that they've got more important things to do at this stage ... so right now i'm assuming that it's being placed near the bottom of the TO DO list... unfortunately...

cry more n00b.

this thread is old

LOL GEDDIT ??? SEEWHATIDIDTHERE?!

This thread was full of lol.

can u put a smiley face under all my posts so that when people read them they smile

I feel this minor change will result in a major change of culture in this organisation
