Hey,i have idea that  in forum staff could start to remove old threads,what are containing dead linkhosts,dead pics etc.
I mean that this is for safety only,because dead filehosts,imagehosts etc will change to place,where trojan horses or ransomwares have kept.
Also it might remove lots of banned members threads.And we have here this part that members banned, but posts still existed.
If my ideas are good then you will add me intio Super Mod or Mod and i will start to clean forum
I don´t think that all threads,what are older than 3-4 years in hacking areas by example are deadbut mostly.Other sections too might have lots of dead links in old threads.But if it should be as it is then we will do nothing.

I'd never recommend anyone download anything here, much less stuff from years ago. Those threads are left there for historical/archive purposes. If you're interested in staff, check the application section for requirements.

Some have good information even if it's out of date.

Banned users don't always have bad threads. Same goes for old threads. There could still be useful information in them.

It would be a very arduous task to not only sift through thousands of threads, but also "accurately Identify" what Is/Is not deemed appropriate, safe and beneficial to the community.

Old threads do not pose any form of threat per se. It's what members decide to do with their content, that can have a negative Impact.

Always exercise common sense and good judgment prior to committing to a given contribution- Irrespective of It's age.

My ideas are coming just because i am found not just only few threads,what are grave dugged and posted many many years ago.
Maybe mothered was remembering that his banned at least one user,who grave dugged old threads.
And there comes question that all kind of MSN Password decryptors.Yes,these threads are old and as we kow then even MSN Messenger was closed years ago, but somebody might still have decryptors in computer.
I think that there have no point to delete threads from ages just beacuse their age, but to avoid their bumping,grave digging etc,Otherwise there have no point to ban somebody,who grave dugs.

This. As time passes, people have their own reasons for joining/leaving. Normally when someone is banned for distributing malware, it's mentioned explicitly in their ban reason.

Ok, but now ia am asking something to not misunderstanding.I have reported several threads on some days.
Are my reports good or just wasting time because maybe posts should have there by historical reasons or something.
I mean by example that we have banned members,who have offered credit cards etc.Banned, but threads not removed,so anybody will contact and possibly to make complaint against forum.

I haven't seen any reports for at least 4 weeks. When did they take place?

If you believe a thread Is worthy of reporting (within reason), by all means do so. Staff will then decide on the appropriate action, If any.
