Hi
This is one small suggestion to create archive sections for each of the main forums such as
TRADING & INVESTING
THE MARKETS
METHODS & STRATEGIES
INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERS(IPO's) & MUTUAL FUNDS
TOOLS & RESOURCES
or any combination of such archives where threads may be archived according to certain criteria. such as
Thread has 500 or 1000 posts max.
Thread is one year old.
There is no posting for three months.
There is less than 10 posts and
Threads which have conclusive answers so nothing to add further.
May be while continuing an old thread which is still relevant, link to last post in the archived thread may be provided and last 10/5 posts may be at the top of continued thread ( with same thread title) so as to provide continuity.
Threads which are more than two years old may be pruned subject to Ratings and moderator decisions.
While I am not noticing any time lag in content delivery, pruning of database and better management of threads would improve efficiency.
These matters are related to administration of forum and I have no locus-standii to say much and surely traderji would be following some of the techniques.
But I felt to make these suggestions so that new members would be encouraged to search archives knowing old information may be available apart from better management.
