not that it really matters, but whats up with the top members section?  macphreak was top with over millions of post.  sparky second, necro thrid, me and then mr. hide.  
   little while ago there wasn't any macphreak, sparky was top, i was second (over 2000 post), then necro, then Azatotht and mr.hide next after us.
   now its sparky, mrhide, necro, Azatotht and then me (lost around 700 post).
   this is less then a hour from looking at everything.
    so just wondering is the system acting up?
    what next?  PINNUTS in the top spot?

I would just like to be able to get the old theme back. The only selection now is "Platinum 3" what happened to the rest?

Yes me as well...I miss the "wood" overlay, skin , whatever you want to call it....

As long as posts are not getting deleted or lost. I care little about what my posting status is.

Agreed

I don't care about rank other than Pinnutts being number 1. I would love to see Sparky deal with that one.

I had the posts recounted. what you have now are the ACTUAL post counts. I kept getting comments about the old numbers being false (MacPhreak's total was nothing but a test that was forgotten).

No, posts are not getting deleted or lost. The system counts the actual ones. And besides, other than admin, Gory, you are the only one that can delete your posts. And we don't delete anything.

Blame Gory! yes!

... why do you actually care who's the top poster(s)? just curious

OMG I gotta catch up to Sparky!

Just wondering if there are still some 'clean-up' done now and then.
I know some of my old for sale/SOLD posts seem removed for instance
(after machine marked as sold)...

Should we leave those old posts here on MAACA instead of cleaning them up?
(that would be my preference for future reference, but the MAACA site might be
web/disk space limited ?)

Thanks!

yes the classifieds do get cleaned up once and a while.

Quoted from sylvain

but the MAACA site might be web/disk space limited ?)

For now , Space is soooooo not an issue.

Storage Space     
591.91 MB of 100,000.00 MB used
Available storage space     99,408.09 MB

Number of Files     
23,833 of 262,144 used
Available files     238,311

cleaning the classifieds isnt about space it is about beeing able to sift through what is current makes it easier to find what is valid. why is post counts so valued?

I really do not care about post counts nor individual rating of a poster
based on post counts only.
I do however care about being able to find older posts & pics info
for the future.

While removing sold posts does declutter the For Sale forum,
it also removes potentially precious info for the future, such as
conditions of a machine originally, pics, price, date, specific info,
and original owner (for possible questions about game fun factor,
any documentation available, game rules, etc.).

Suggestion: Add a 'Sold/Archive' forum to the Classifieds, and have only
admin (and/or owner) able to move posts there once item marked sold ??

... my personal opinion, for whatever it is worth


As always, I really appreciate this great forum and community.
I also try to contribute to it constructively by helping fellow MAACA
members when I can.

Thanks again, keep up the *excellent* work !

Regards & Cheers,

I like that idea too...

It's nice to have a reference that in 2003 , a TZ sold for $2500 and a Robotron for $800,
while today is $4000 and $300 !




All kidding aside, an archive of sold items would be nice to have.

Cheers,

i don't really care about the ranking other then i was neat to see how many posts i did.  but yea, i really miss some of the older post that seem to now be gone.  use to be some great info in the shipping section and now i don't see alot of the info that i use to find there.

  as for me deleting my own post?  who knows i might have?  i try to mostly just update my older post if things or sold or what not.

   great to see alot of posting about this all.

Quoted from gorydeath

...i was neat to see how many posts i did.

It's about quality, not quantity.    





And I also like the idea of a 'sold' archive - at least in the pin section.

really?  thought it was about socializing about pins/vids and such.  some sales and loads of talk.   sorry i got it wrong and went on and on and on and on sometimes.
