MNHQ WANTS TO REMOVE THE 90 DAY LIMIT ON CHAT THREADS - THEY WILL BE HERE FOR PERPETUITY

[PanPanPanPing]

This thread in Site Stuff explains www.mumsnet.com/Talk/site_stuff/3338581-MNHQ-here-removing-the-90-day-limit-on-Chat-threads?msgid=80290028

Bumping for those who might be concerned about this - and might want to add their thoughts to the thread in Site Stuff (linked in my OP).

OP, seriously no one is as arsed as you.

I'm not arsed

What I am arsed about is the fact that MNHQ can't be bothered to 'sticky' their Site Stuff thread in Chat .... the very topic it's going to have a big impact on soon.

They'll probably get round to it but really the only people who are arsed already know as they visit site stuff. I'm also not arsed but appreciate your right to be arsed.

Interesting. Lots of people getting miffed about this on site stuff, including me, but no-one over here seems to care much.

I still think it is remiss of MN not to have a pinned post at the top of this Board giving people at least a week's notice.

I DO GIVE A SHINY SHITE AND I AGREE WITH TheCat

Seriously, I do think it's a bad idea and it is interesting that over here not many appear to care whereas on site stuff it's fairly unanimous that it's a terrible idea. It should be stickied to Chat either way, as this is the area it's concerning.

Its pinned at the top of active threads

Wonderful. Next game of Mornington Crescent can be on the Chat thread!

I like the idea of them being taken off.

I think it's a bad idea.

Couldn't care less.

I like the fact that they disappear from Chat. Thanks for this thread, op.

So? Actually it’s a good thing - annoying to arrive from a search engine to a page that’s been deleted.

Bump - not sure what I think except that this should be really clear to anyone deciding to post in Chat from now on.

Bumping this also so people are hopefully aware

If there wasn't a 30 day section, there might be something to shout about.
Really can't see the problem.

I also like the fact that they disappear from Chat. Thanks OP.

I didn't know there was a 30-day section. Where is it?

I quite like an old thread.

I still think it is remiss of MN not to have a pinned post at the top of this Board giving people at least a week's notice

I totally agree.

I thought they already we're... why were get zombie threads? And can bring up old threads on search

I'm not too bothered about them removing the 90 days*, just the way it's been announced.

*I did start a thread once about a weird dream I had safe in the knowledge it would disappear. Because of this change, I won't repeat here what the dream was about.

Has this change happened, because on the Chat board it still has the notice about 90 day removal?

I am guessing this isn't going ahead after all.

I am also wondering this, for the same reason as DadDadDad.

They're going to take the 90 day rule away from Chat and introduce a new 90 day board - see MNHQ comment on the other thread (link in OP).
