Is there any special way of backing up or do you just mean copy and paste?

Does the size of individual threads cause any problems? On the SMB there are two active threads started in 2016, one of 90 pages and one of 191 pages.

I have been printing to pdf for things that I want to keep. I'm open to suggestions if anyone knows of a better way though.

The size will make a difference - if you can bear to start new threads and restart the legacy, then it probably wouldn't hurt to do that, but I suspect it's probably not going to be the thing that wrecks the board if you do want to keep them.

To be honest, I wouldn't comolain if you deleted every thread that hasn't had a post on it in over a year. While in theory it'd be nice to be able to look back, I'm not sure I'd ever do it.

Definitely been a bit hit or miss getting onto the site recently.

I looked at the first post in the Scots Abroad thread. It’s so old Chris Cusiter and Ally Hogg were still playing when it started. Since I have basically taken over that thread I’ll start a new one.

If you'd like, I can split it off, so that the last page or two are kept as a new thread and the rest of it goes in the bin? Or you can start a new one - whatever's easiest.

I’d say keep the last two pages which is this season and bin the rest. Maybe wait a couple of days to see if anyone objects.

We don't even have a 2nd page of threads on the Imb, I'd say you could go full apocalypse now in there

Much better to keep the threads in Mike wlgs music room

Really? Is there a particular reason? I'm not a regular in there, so I don't know if any of them are significant.

Not significant but I'd get a book or tv recommendation in there before I'd go to good reads or some such

That said I bet no one has looked at page 4 or 5 in a long time

Cut away puja

Are you planning to do anything to Last Film Watched, or Good Reads, or Good TV Shows? They're a pretty good repository of reviews. I'd vote for them to be left alone.

But if not, can you give me warning before they are trimmed?

Happy to leave those in place - doubt they will do much to the overall size of the board.

Cool

Did you keep all the MBMs? I like to reread some of them when Ireland/NZ/France/ok anyone beats us to remember better times

So far, they have been exempted from the culls, but probably worth taking a copy of them, just in case.
