On another forum where I spend some time, someone made a topic about weight loss and 6-pack stomachs. We recently had a discussion about this here on the Lounge, and I thought I'd do some cross-forum-quoting, but alas, the thread was not to be found. I guess time took its toll.
Would it be too hard on this board's resources to keep the threads for longer periods of time? There's so much clever being said on this board which I want to keep for posterity, but the threads seem to disappear all too quickly. Copy+pasting entire threads into a word document isn't really practical either.
On the forum in question, there's a sub-forum for "classic" threads. The sub-forum is closed and can only be viewed; posters cannot reply to "classic" threads. The moderators decide which useful threads are deemed "Classic®" and move them to this sub-forum once the discussion in the thread has dissipated. Would such an idea be possible for us on The Lounge as an alternative to extending the life of a thread?
