also if there was a way to temperarly give the power to the owner of a topic to remove uneeded post they could do there own house cleaning. Much like in the pm page for your mail. Also there could be an arcives forum. Expanding on what Limey, any topics older then 2008 could be moved to an arcives forum, ore even a topic. All that would be needed to be saved from a dead topic older then 2008 would be any updates major updates, so you have lets say 4 post as an example, the starting of the project, the finshed model, the textered model, and the in game test. So lets say that topic from 2007 had 37 pages for one mod, removing everything but the core mod would drop it to 1 page. Then move it out of the active modding forum and place it in an arcive forum or topic. You could have a masted post if you used it in a topic that would have the mod name, maker and date, and next to that have the page number so lets say you want to see mod x in the arcives topic, i would go to the first post, find mod x and see the page number and then i could skip ahead to that page.so it would be condencing 100 topics to 1.
