This may be a silly question, but I notice that when I go to change my profile it lists all of the threads that we've had (under subscriptions). Does this make a difference in terms of our database? Should it be pruned?

There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
You mean you're still subbed to closed threads? It has come up, and they said it was better to remove those subscriptions.

Thanks for all the fish.
No, I'm not subbed to them, but they are still listed in the list of threads you can be subbed to. If that makes any sense.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yep, makes sense. The list you're seeing does include a bunch of older threads, but not all of them -- if you look closely, for instance, you should see that the oldest Natter thread there is #10. They disappear from that list as they get archived and removed from the site.

Thanks for all the fish.
Ah, I see. Okay.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It is possible to be subbed, practically speaking, to closed threads, because it's not good to yank natter #319 out of your reading list just because you missed a day and we're on natter 372.
Archived threads, though -- those are gone off all lists.
It's better to unsub from closed threads once you're done reading them, because the searching for "read new" will be quicker that way. But it's not something we can automate.

If I only had a brain...
I can't see Natter or Bitches. The other threads show up. Is anybody else having this problem?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Greetings from the nudger - have all the techies weighed in on which istrata option we want to take? Have we made contact with istrata and asked our "we might be a difficult community" questions? Or are we waiting on someting else before doing this?
cause hey, the sooner we get there and settled the sooner we bring that list-o-projects out. WOO.

As far as I knew, there was only one Istrata option up for use -- did I miss something?
Basically, the timing on the archiving is more of a determining factor.

There are a couple of different options. I think the primary difference is the speed of the processor on the server.
