I have been noticing a growing problem --> the Support Forums content is GROWING and is becoming harder and harder to find topics that have been answered, so people end up repeating the questions.
It is my intention to begin pruning the topics, starting with the very oldest and working forwards. I will do my best to review for relevance, but the task is way too large to be perfect.

I voted no, but if you had some easy method to make an archive and start "fresh" that might be preferable. (I guess I'm concerned about losing some of the dialog and tips that go along with the outdated stuff)
But I can see your point, I'm not interested in stuff that pre-dates StarOS V3.

I often look at posts that are months old, I find that I then don't need to ask a question in the forum I can find what I need from old posts.
I voted no, I would like to be able to find anything ever talked about on the forum.
It should be already understood that the older the post/thread is, the less relevant it is. I already have this in mind any time I'm searching for things and I find forum postings.

How hard would it be to make a separate place for the blatent v2 stuff.?
Or have a cut off date to break it up.
If you take it away where can we get the info.
The v2 FW archives come to mind.
I didn't vote.:)

this is a hard one, I have done searches before and turned up crap but then did it another way and found a post 3 years ago that I wanted. I feel as the Star-Os WIKI or FAQ gets more evolved the searches to years back will not be as relevant, it is hard to say dump it all from a certain date though.. would an archive work? If so I would recommend that it be locked for posts and just be used for data searches.. Anyone Else ?
