It depends on the subject: some of them are still actual and it gives good information for the new comers.
On the other hand, many oldt opics are not usefull anymore, although sometimes funny.

we have been discussing this among the animators and the general consensus is that we should not remove old threads for exactly the reason that primadonna says.

however, we are discussing closing old threads after a certain amount of time so they can't be added to.

I still don't understand why people hate old topics.

I can't either Hailey, in fact I think some of them are still quite helpful to newcomers and others are just really funny.

It's strange that there are complaints since the topics are way on the back pages of the forum and people actually have to go out of their way to find them. Go figure!
