someone fucked up the wiki...

so am I sopose to go through 4-5 years of posts to decide what is "good" enough to stay and what isnt?

I am the only active Forum Admin, and there is 1 active forum moderator, to deal with over 100 new posts a week, on top of jobs / school / family we have.

The wikki was added and all the tutorial marked bad just so people would have something as updated as THEY WANTED, dont need to be a forum moderator to fix it, so instead of complaining about stuff FIX IT!!

The tutorial section of the forum does have some historical significance, and it's not our thing to go deleting records of discussion. The posts in the Tutorial sections won't be going anywhere soon, whether you want them to or not.

We did what we could to try and make it clear that what's in there is outdated, both by (1) making a nice sticky at the top, and (2) locking all tutorial forums into read-only.

If you have any suggestion on how we can make clearer that we've phased out the tutorial section, please feel free to say so. (No, we're not going to touch every post in that area.) But neither development nor the moderators are going to respond to any more complaint that the "tutorial section [in the forums] is outdated." We already know it's outdated -- we're just curious as to why YOU didn't know.

No need to get mad.

My point was that there are many old topics, I wouldn't mind helping out.

FatherNitwit had told me to talk to him in about two weeks or so, if I am still up for it, he might consider it.

All that my point was, there is a lot of information that is exactly the same, which I have found to confuse many people, including myself. By taking time gradually to remove outdated information, and move newer information to the wiki, but still allowing tutorials on the forums, all of this could be prevented.

My idea:
In the tutorials section, have different forum per version, one for 6.1, 6.2, etc, this way, when a build is considered dead, you can just mark it as read-only.
