Some posts seem to go on for ever , sometimes lasting for more than a year. Some of these are

critical about restaurants and other services which may have improved or changed hands.

Should old posts be deleted when they are out of date ?

Many have useful and or historic information on them so it would be hard to know what to delete and what not. I would not envy Izzet the task.

I would think even the informative posts are probably out of date after a couple of months, as things change so quickly here.Certainly a hard job to decide. Good luck.

No, they should be archived and accesed through an archive menu as many posts contain a lot of information which is beneficial to new users and people interested in TRNC living.

I thought the whole point of the C44 forum was for search engine optimization S.E.O, the more inane subjects that we discuss the more popular the search engines deem the site: put the following into your Google search engine - [cyprus teeth]. and C44 is on page 1, 9th listing , now tell me at which point does that post promote Cyprus or have any relevance for this site goals. Off course you can not archive or delete previous posts the more posts and the more popularity with the crawlers and spiders and then better stats to use to promote your sites potential as a platform for business's to advertise their goods and services.
