[REPORT] Archive Megathread

by **Euroslavia** » Mon Mar 17, 2014 10:06 am

Requests for the archive of threads can be placed here. Bear in mind that a good majority of these threads will be from Forum 7, to prevent threads from being permanently deleted, or from special events where temporary forums are created.

I hope this doesn't count as spam, but this is time sensitive...
If we could please get this archived.

The WA archives are separate. Should requests for that (such as the one I recently posted, which Frisbeeteria took care of) kind of archive go in this megathread, too? Or be kept separate.

Once more, because I don't want to have to keep posting on it to keep it from vanishing until I get slapped around for doing so.

The reason it was not previously moved is that archiving is NOT automatically assumed to be the correct action. This is little more than a chat thread, and there's no reason for it to be archived rather than simply lost. Unless you have a more compelling reason than "... but I WANT it", please stop bumping the thread to avoid purges.

Alright, here's a reason: Every single other iteration of this thread and others like it has been archived, so why shouldn't this one? Unless there's been a policy change that I'm unaware of, location threads (Like this one) are considered pseudo-rps, are subject to thread ownership, and are viable to be archived.

The thread is an important library of canon to continue and refer back to on continuations of the story, as well as to review past work and build on your style with what influences you had in the past. If such reasons are insufficient to change your mind on the ruling, you should be removing things from the Archive of similar to this.

I am not entirely sure this megathread is warranted, if its first request has yet to be acted on.

Save this thread to the archives please

I'm not really sure this is used enough to warrant being it's own megathread.

Nevertheless, I noticed the last completed TET is yet to be archived: viewtopic.php?f=20&t=292869

I've taken my time to wind this up, as I wanted to address our old members, but I'd now like to submit this for archiving - Hopefully now the mods have dealt with the inevitable wave of requests after the initial decision was made to re-boot.

This now-defunct thread contains some very important information that can be useful in the future, could it be archived please?

It would be greatly appreciated if you could kindly consider archiving this. Thanks.

All I see is some longish posts from you and an odd assortment of bumps. In three months, no one but you seems to have found it "very important information", so perhaps you should store your own writing in someplace offsite.

WA Archive: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=272390

We usually leave WA threads in place to allow for post vote commentary for a bit. We then go in and scoop up all the [PASSED] and [DEFEATED] thread topics once a month or so.
