The 'back threads' on mil pilots are a useful resource, and if at all possible should all be retained, ideally in place. I note with interest that no similar archive is planned for much larger and space intensive threads like R & N and Wannabes.
If it is impossible to leave it be, then archive everything, or just filter out the completely inconsequential stuff. If that's impossible, perhaps the various advice to wannabes threads should obviously be saved (on Wannabes own archive!)
Can you give us six weeks or so to go back and find and archive bits and pieces ourselves which may not be of general interest, but which may be useful if things happen in future - eg the various Eurofighter threads - which will lie dormant until something new occurs in that programme, but which would then be useful to look back at?
Would it be so hard to save 'em all onto CDs, so at least they weren't entirely lost? For an individual to save anything I guess you have to copy it as a text file and paste it into word, or whatever?
