John, there are sites using this forum that have nearly a million posts and they are all viewable and searchable. Lots of good info posted on the old site just slid off into the ether - never to be seen again.

This forum has a dedicated hard drive with bunches of room, a way to store the post info that will eliminate the need for ever deleting or archiving anything. The pages may grow into the hundreds, but we'll never need to lose anything. As the volume of posting grows, we should eventually have a vast store-house of accumulated knowledge that we can refer back to with the search functions. In effect; our own version of an ag based Google.

I think we would all do well to remember that unlike the old software, this one has a memory - think before posting profound statements as they can come back to haunt you
