Time cap on Completed Visual Styles?

[rschultz2002]

Can you please put a time cap on Completed Visual Styles? You have some over a year old and people are still posting in them.

I don't see how this could be detrimental to the community, as long as the links to said visual styles are still live. It helps people discover styles which they may not have seen before - not everyone has been at Neowin since it first began.

I was trying to be kind. If a theme is a year old and people keep posting bugs and other stupid junk on it. Thats just wasting peoples time, space and etc. Look at my last post in that topic. Its a waste that the person evan posted it. He should of went to the site where the work is and posted there. There is about 100 that keep getting bumped too.

Edit: I am not talking about delete the thread. I think they should be looked after a time cap.

People still check their releases here. There's no reason to close it unless it's dead and someone posts a useless post.

This is a dead thread.Link.

What i am saying is people keep bring dead crap back. If that means anything?

The purpose of that forum is to display people's themes and vs's whether they are old or new. Like Joel said, including me, we check that forum for new releases of any themes that interest us. The creator has the right to bring their old threads back to post bug fixes or new releases. People post bugs or suggestions because they want their favourite themes to be improved.

Never mind. I can see people are not understanding what I was trying to say. I am done talking about it.

I think he's talking about helping the artists, locking it would mean people couldn't whine about something like a year after the artist stopped working on it, but at the same time, that doesn't work, because if a link to download the VS is gone, then people can't ask for help, or where to find matching skins etc. Good idea in theory, not in practice though
