Yes, I noticed that on many sites these days, comments on news articles and blog posts are stopped after a certain number or posts or a certain time. Of course, some of those news sites etc have controversial topics (politics, etc) so they have many comments, wars, insults, etc.

Here, we admins will implement what is best for the site, the members and those who visit from search referrals in search of an answer to a question or problem.

Just like we don't write in the back of a book written by others, we reference that knowledge in a new book or paper or article. Many of us feel the same way about old threads. They can be referenced if closed, and a new thread started.

So far, the concensus from our admins, mods and members are that closing threads after three months is important . If there is a concensus to change it, we will.

For me, I am so used to referencing other URLs in a post, that the point is moot for me; and am interested in what others think serves best.

NAME
forum - Interactive Help for MRTG users SYNOPSIS
There is a lot of written documentation for mrtg. But never the less you may have a problem where you can't find the solution. In this case some Human Help may be necessary. With MRTG there are several ways to get Humans to help you. MAILING-LIST There are three mailing lists for MRTG available. mrtg for discussion among mrtg users mrtg-announce for announcements regarding new versions of mrtg related software mrtg-developers for discussion among people who write software in connection with mrtg or who hack mrtg itself. THE RULES Please note, that the memebers of the mrtg mailinglist value politeness highly. This means behave in a way you would like others to behave towards you. o No shouting. (NO CAPS) o No rude language o No demands. everybody is on the list out of their own free will. If you do not get an answer to your question, chances are high that you did not give sufficent details about the nature of your problem or that the answer to your problem is in the documentation. o If you do not follow the rules you will be unsubscribed from the list with no further questions asked. o Decisions about your unsubscription from the list will be taken by Alex van den Bogaerdt <alex@slot.hollandcasino.nl> Paul C.
