Klaus might be able to make the whole thing read only

Yeah, probably.

Just for shits and giggles, I wonder how much hassle it would be and how long it would take to migrate all the threads.

Even if it could be done.

What would be the point? We can always read them there and don’t need to kill the disk space here.

True.

The only reason would be the sake of convenience in putting them in the search function. I believe Klaus has said that that number of messages, being all text, would take up an almost trivial amount of disk space.

I’m surprised no one is upset about losing their post counts of 100,000+!

I could not care less about my post count.

Could somebody who is not a moderator try whether the forum is now read-only? I changed something but I'm not sure it works. I can't test it with my own account.

[Mik]

I'm logged in. Can't post or add a topic.

[Mik]

Can't edit either.

[Doctor Phibes]

I'm deeply embarrassed about my post count, or at least that other bloke's.

[Mik]

Man, 16 years. Plus my posts tend to be relatively short.

If you go back to TOCR, over 20 years...

[Klaus]

Maybe it's not a good idea to change it to read-only.

Right now the fold forum is still a fallback if this thing explodes.

[George K]

You can like or dislike posts - not quote, post or start new topics.

File under the heading "Small mercies for which we are thankful".

[Mik]

Bloody wanker.

[Mik]

Oh yeah...and a Masshole, too!

[Doctor Phibes]

Now you go too far!

[Copper]

Why make it read-only?
