I have locked my own topics because several people used to turn everything into a political debate. I remove a thread about a 911 turbo a few weeks ago because apparently I came across something top secret and shouldn't have talked about it.

Because you've embarrassed yourself?

I guess my thinking is that even crappy threads sometimes contain useful information.

Some people actually do use the search function ;)

I delete most of my threads as sson as the drop off pg 1. Or sooner if people show no interest.

I figure they have been looked at, long enough.  ;)

But what about those of us that know how to use the search function?!?!?

Some of us actually use it!

But if you delete things, then . . . well that's like burning books i guess [laugh]

Some people don't like it if the topic turns nasty or goes in a way they don't like, or for a million reasons.

I just try to remind people once you post it, it belongs to the ages of the internet, and the ages don't wash their hands when they pee.

I joined in a discussion about (ready?), helmets, and people started taking my comments about cheap Chinese helmets real personal, and started to get pretty insulting and derogatory, so I just deleted all my posts in the discussion, because it wasn't the big deal some were making it out to be.

I've deleted threads that were derbys, or if they devolved into less than useful discussions that had nothing to do with the original thread. Most of the useful threads of good DIY and technical information stay intact, so I've never really noticed any major effect from thread deletions other than my post count will sometimes go down.
