Mods: Can You Trim It Down?
Can a mod trim down the Rank Them As You See Them thread? There's a lot of fluff around that you have to sort through to get to the good stuff -- the meat of the matter. Posts like "Hey Spiderman comes out" that were made in March and not updated since then.
Please?
Please?

So I guess that's a resounding no, then? I wanted to put together a total 'best of dvdtalk/forum 2002 list' but it would be hard to wade through all that... Oh well

It's a real pain to "trim" down a thread.
The page that lets you do this only shows a couple lines of text from the post, so you're constantly going back and forth between the delete post page and the actual thread to see whether the post is a good one or not. And it's all one long page which makes it easy to lose your place; and the way things are lined up makes it hard to tell which post is which.
The lack of appreciation for whenever I did things like this is one of the big reasons why I quite being an Admin here!
Just kidding!
But it is a royal pain in the ass to do.

Now we know the real reason! Damn_you all! We miss Blade in the mod lounge, and it's all your fault! You couldn't have been nicer to him, huh?
