Hey guys, just popping in to let you know something before you get confused.
Proboards has a 1000 subforum limit. As far as we've seen/researched there's no limit on posts so don't worry about it. Either way, we've hit that limit I think twice now?
Last time I went through and deleted the empty forums in the stillbirth fed archives (Under Construction....Forever?) but today DT and I did it in all of the archives. This has freed up like 50+ forums or so for us to work with.
This gives us room for more feds for now. However, we're currently exploring the option of moving archives off-board to a secondary archive board. Generally this wouldn't be too terribly difficult but then
*Looks at AXW*
....Some feds would be more troublesome- especially when it comes to RPs since we'd be posting them as not the original posters in the move.
But don't worry about that stuff, that's Network Admin business and if we do that we'd probably round up a crew of archivers who are down with copying and pasting for a few hours, lol.
The reason I wanted to let you all know is that if an archived fed seems like it's missing a vital component that's probably because it was empty- and I deleted it. So yeah, don't be confused.
Holy crap we're big, right?

I've also started combining forums where i can in the archives. Just enough to get NLW up before Mongo went ham on it. But if you see all the shows (weekly/PPV/otherwise) and all the RPs(archives separated by event/year etc) in single forums that's another thing I would do.

What if you combined all that feeds posts into one fourm for the archived feds?

What if you combined all that feeds posts into one fourm for the archived feds? You're not the first to suggest that and it was one of my early ideas that I pitched to the Network Admins too. Basically what we'd do in that situation is to take like for example the dead feds of 2017 and merge their various forums into single versions of them under like "2017 Archives" or something The good side of this is that it keeps us from having to create a new board just for archival purposes and would save a ton of time on moving stuff. The downside is that all those feds would essentially lose their individuality and some of the feds....probably mostly in 2018 sort of earned that individuality. Another issue is that it's more of a band-aid since we'd still be using forums on the board for that. I mean yeah, we could do further mergers as time went on, like 2-5 year sets. Actually that is the one part that makes it a serious contender for a long-term solution. However, not every fed neatly falls into one year, lol. And in that case do we archive them based on starting point or ending point? Honestly speaking, in any version of the archival plans I worry about AXW. If we go mergers, then it loses it's individuality (though obviously stands out well on its own among the smaller feds). If we got new board, that's gonna be a heck of a lot to move. The more I type this though the more I'm feeling pro-merger. It'd at least keep everything with the original posters :thinking:

What you are proposing is more intense than I intended. I meant one forum per fed with all their sub-forums grouped but see where you are coming from. This suggestion would be a bandaid too.

One forum per fed would be sort of a mess with shows, rps, applications, rules and whatnot all stacked onto each other.

I'd still break those up into separate sections. So it'd look more like...
2017 Archives -Applications -Championships -Roleplays -Shows -Information -OOC
Or whatever the feds have in them, just merging like-sub forums into each other

Wrestlegasm deleted all their sexy pictures. After that I don't care what happens the archived feds area, it's more or less dead to me now.
