Petition To Bring Back All Past Off-Topic Threads As Locked Threads

Signed.

I love going back and looking up old movie or show threads after watching whatever it is I watched. With IMDB shutting down their boards, I only used GAF and Reddit as my source for this kind of discussion.

I also like this idea. How else will I be able to find out what people on this forum thought about Annabelle Creation? Or to see my old thread about that time I got hit in the face by a golfball? These are important things.

All bs aside you are right on all counts.

Am I missing something? Why can't the old threads just be brought back unlocked? Is there something incriminating in them or something? Or is it because a lot of them are political?

Disagree. With the amount of users who've voluntarily given up their accounts, I feel like all the old off topic threads are a liability.

I would be all for this. You don't need to keep the picture post threads, the girlfriend pic posts, or other highly personal threads, but there is a ton of great history in those threads going back more than a decade. Keep them, just lock them.
 
Add me too please. I know what happened regarding the owner, but I don't understand why some of my favorite threads are gone.

And from what I've been reading around; is it correct that we can't talk about politics in off topics?

Yup, no more politics.

I'm in.

Still never got an explanation (that I saw) as to why 'privacy' is a concern with regard to these threads NOW, but was NOT a concern two weeks ago.

Sign me up.

Hopefully the old OT will get restored and all the members history will be back and everyone bookmarks and subs will work again.
