Your point is relevant and defines exactly what rules the exception: there is a valuable contribution to the discourse.

As a matter of fact, I see no reason not to extend this rule and say one must have a valuable contribution also in running discourses - but a larger leniency can be observed there.

Boy ... would that cut down on the drive by, one line, sarcastic, snippets, sidebars and hijacks that make many threads worth visiting in the first place.

I would hate to see 1BC become a boorish classroom discussion board ... sotra like U.S. institutes of higher indoctrination ... all the little ducks swimming in a cute little row according to the instructors/moderators world view. The WWW already abounds with way to many such boards ... even way to many kumbaya fest's that only allow one side of a debate to be posted ... see the PETA boards for an example.

There are posters here, that we read, on the off chance that they will, amongst their irrelevant and repetitive ranting's, garnered from the same old cut and paste information centers, will actually post some tidbit of information that we would like look into further. I would not wish to see them squelched ... I can not read every news wire every day ... I come to boards like 1BC for snippets that I would have otherwise missed ... and to do a bit of drive by sniping ...

OMG!  You mean you visit other boards?!!  How could you?  After all we've been through!

(A drive by if I ever saw one)

I agree. Lets not sterilize 1BC. Lets let it fester

ADDIT: _AND_ pick off the scab(s) every now and again to let it re-fester-ize a bit . . .

I was minded to compare this site to a sort-of-private Facebook, but, on reflection, that's not right . . . Nope. Here is a forum to exchange views and discuss topics and maybe have some literary fun; post some interesting pics (not Megabits of family krap); flag up some internet sites of Interest; pass on the occasional joke. To me, (struggling for analogy here) it's bit more like a quiet and cosy pub with locals you know and the occasional visitor from "outside"; thick stone walls and a cellar full of well-kept ale. Facebook, on the other hand, is some awful massive city-centre club that serves Fosters lager.   And, you know what? I am not unhappy with that analogy. I prefer the pub.

Closing old posts *could* fix some things, but what about times where an old post is relevant again? Tosk dug up an old post and had a relevant update to it. A good reason not to close them.

Besides, I intend to dig up my New Years 2008 prediction thread in 7 months.

There is no problem with digging up a thread to discuss new and relevant information. But it is annoying, and a waste of time to see people digging up threads that are more than 3 years old just to make some dumb comment. It can also confuse people that don't notice the date. So please, think about it the next time you post in a thread that is from 2004 etc.
