Hmm seriously though I wish it would happen, the tension is killing me
"Happen"? Whatever we do, it's not going to happen instantly, and nothing is even planned yet. I was expecting Patchou to start some more discussion about the changes, but he hasn't yet. Now isn't the best time anyway... the holidays just got over, and I'm busy working on the board as well as other things.

Maybe from your point of view it's good, but I think it's a hassle to change things after they've been one way for a long time. You have to get used to the new system, the new problems and confusion it causes, etc.

How about we delete the users too? If we don't, they will create new spam.

Another way of putting it: a huge knowledge base is revised, not erased....
I agree.

The major problem is indeed: people can't find the answer directly so they ask the same question again and again.... Maybe time to make a good help-file for plus!? Or to make the search option more standing out and user friendly....
There's the msgplus.net FAQ... if it's lacking answers to any of the commonly-asked questions here on the forums, it should be expanded.

It's not that easy reading through every single post and trying to decide if you remove it will the topic make sence or not. It sounds easy but doesnt always work, trust me.
Yep.

Uhh...
