Hello F.S.M. staff! I get the mag and enjoy my time at the site. I have a question though. I have found some posts that interest me as I want to helpout my fellow modelers too. I get very flustered when I get into a post only to find it,s two or more years old! What gives, surely you don,t have a big closet to put them all in? I don,t know if some would find it fair,but, I think the posts should stay ,say, a year then be removed. Maybe I would have ruffled feathers by saying this, but, I have a very low embarressment quotient and finding an interesting thought replying quickly and just before posting my post, I find I am replying to a post that,s three or four years old, well,??? HELP!!!   tankerbuilder

I favor leaving the old posts as long as the technology allows.  The date of each post is clearly visible (in the upper left corner); I long ago developed the habit of taking a look in that corner as soon as I open a post for any reason.  We've had quite a few discussions in the "Ships" forum in which people have had good reason to refer to posts that were several years old.  As long as FSM can afford to keep them around, it seems to me that they aren't hurting anything - and the sheer volume accumulated over the years is one of the features that make this site such a fine source of information.
