Is it possible to have threads marked as Abandoned, Old, or Non-Working? It can get very tough to sort through which are compatible with HB3, which are still working but old, and which need to be deleted all together due to the ban of the developer, or no interest due to it being old. Is anyone else interested in this, can we go through some of these old threads and find which aren't of value anymore to make this place not such a maze to wander through?
i kinda like the history to be explored in the archives. seeing those old threads allows me to revisit the memories made while fooling around with them. seeing banned developers names reminds me of long conversations on skype in the early hours of the morning discussing the mistakes i'd made in a profile i'd been working on for days. and there is a wealth of knowledge researching those old profiles to get a feel how things were accomplished and think about how those ideas could lead to new projects. and many times its just a few lines of code to bring an old project back to life. most times at the end of those threads you will find a working version of the original that some other developer has taken the time to make whole again. dont destroy our memories.
Those are just fine. If someone repurposes old threads then that's cool. But those that are old and never coming back? If the community wants to keep them have them moved to an archived section that can be perused by others to experience "old honorbuddy". I mean, trust me, I've been around here a long time (and before this the Glider community, which also had the same thing). But no one wants to find a profile that no longer works, it can be quite frustrating.
I for example use some profiles that have last post from 2012 and they still work. And i also use many that are deemed ''abandoned/dead'', and which many players would not download (and miss on a actual working profile). Each one of them is of value to some players, because somebody will always make even the oldest or shitiest profiles work for them, or take some values from them. I don't know how would you manage to categorize it all correctly, it would be really hard. Also everything that Frosticus said above.
