October 11, 200222 yr comment_16933 I must agree with Michael. I have searched past threads many times before I ask a question. Sometimes saves me creating another thread.

October 11, 200222 yr comment_16934 The old posts are a "goldmine" or should I say "Zmine" of information. I would like to see the old forsale posts deleted. . .say after one month.

October 11, 200222 yr comment_16935 It is a very valuable asset to me as well. The combined knowlege from around the world, can be used to answer almost any question about Zcars.

October 11, 200222 yr comment_16936 I do searches myself on old posts, as well as old threads I have started. Some of the threads I've started were questions, and it can sometimes take me awhile to get around to doing some of the stuff that other people recomend. So I need to be able to search out the answers that were postsed for me.

October 11, 200222 yr comment_16938 I have to agree. The old posts are like an encyclopedia of knowledge. I try to check them first before I ask dumb questions.

October 11, 200222 yr comment_16942 There's no way we are going to start deleting posts based on the date... Sorta ruins the idea of a database website, ya know?You can set up your preferences to show you only the last XX days if you don't like weeding through everything.Another good feature is the search mechanism. Very powerful tool.Now, about space, message posts really don't take up that much overhead. It's all the graphics and fun stuff that takes up the real hard-drive real estate.
