Poll of the Day > AMP doesn't purge anymore?

(+) Yeah! (+)

is this a glitch or intentional?

AMP still purges. It just depends on what boards you're posting on.

For social boards, the slower the board gets, the longer posts take to purge.

From what I can tell, it seems like the social boards are set to have about 200 topics minimum, so as people post less, the amount of time topics are allowed to linger before purging gets longer. PotD has been getting slower and slower, so the cut-off has gone from about 10 days, to about 2 weeks, and now it's around 18 days. Topics on RI last slightly more than a month.

Topics on CE still last about 3 days (which was the original purge rate), but all of them are terrible so it doesn't matter.

The way things are going, I'm assuming we're going to hit 3 weeks soon.

my oldest active message is from october 2023

my oldest active is from a cod blops topic in 2014 lmao

My oldest active is from the sticky topic on the Ocarina of Time board from April 2006. That's 18 years ago next month, holy.

Barring sticky topics, the next oldest is just from August 2023 on the MGS Master Collection board.

My oldest active post is from 2014, in a sticky topic on the RF4 board where I shared the Excel sheet I put together to simplify the crafting system. That was actually my first time using VLOOKUP. Good times...

i mean if you want to get technical, my oldest still viewable post on this website is this from 2006

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/921905-pokemon-emerald-version/24990707/290409161

but i don't think that really counts as active even though gamefaqs does

oh 2006 me, look at that capitalization

My oldest active post is from 2006, on a stickied topic that hasn't been posted to in over a year.

My oldest active is in a stickied topic on the 3DS board from 2015

Yeah I've been wondering my number hasn't changed for days suddenly. That seems like a glitch unless they are rolling out some kind of post archiving instead of purging for social boards but haven't actually made the archived posts available to us yet

@BoomerKuwanger
it has to be broken. my amp hasnt been this high in months. I saw a post about it on CE last week and other people were saying the same thing

My oldest is from 2017 on dogefaqs

My AMP is 197 right now. I never pay attention to it so I don't know if it's high or low. I guess we'll see.
