Well i know this should be posted in the sexuality section but.. lol im joking its not about that but thats what you were thinking :stoned:
anyway i was stoned or i am stoned and i was wondeirng well if we make threads will they still be here in 5 years?? how large is the memory thing because it must be quite big if it has to hold all of the text that thousands of stoners make
anyone got a clue??
like 10 inches
just kidding man, i have no clue, but i dont think it keeps everything, only the threads that are often replied to.
Yeah but in theory if really old threads were deleted wouldnt your post count go down ???
sorry i just think about random shit when im stoned
depends and how big of a hard drive this server is on and how much of it is dedicated to the forums
im pretty sure most of the older posts are deleted...
but the RECORD of their existence is what they keep.
id think theyd just delete really old, dead threads that no one cares about, but i havent been here really that long to actually have any proof
Whoa, Invision. Nice researching. Well, I guess that solves THAT question.
Next question is...how much of their server space does MY THREAD occupy. LOL. I think I must've posted at least 500 pics in it by now. Haven't counted tho.
Nice work, I.

Well from what i can remember this site was made in 1997, i think. I havnt done any of these fancy searches so dont hold me too it.
But i know the forums were around before 04, because i remember reading about this site in The Sun paper, someone got nicked for selling bud over th site.
That's how i got into it, but i didnt actually bother registering untill this year, but i've been looking through the forums for about 2 and a half years now.
This place selectively deletes... there is a decent archive,but there may as well be none,,,as a incomplete one could be real frustrating if you need to find a post and it is gone...
text is relatively small in comparison to pictures,you can get an enormous amount of text on a hard drive,my belief has always been to make what the public says remain for the public to view... pics I really don't consider that important,but what peoples say is!
