| Apr 23, 2015 at 21:55 | comment | added | Jim B | It certainly is interesting that we have a group of users with the idea that there is such a huge volume of new cpanel questions that the flood cannot be handled. So much so that the number of new questions would come close to or exceed the effort required to close all the old ones. | |
| Apr 23, 2015 at 20:59 | comment | added | Reaces | I'm also much more a proponent of just closing the questions as they pop up on the front page / get used as a reason for creating new OT questions in stead of mass closing. I don't think we're helping our community feel like their input matters by asking them to spend time cleaning up old stuff just on the off chance that they'll be used as an argument. If someone brings it up on meta that they thought it was OT because they found an old question, then clearly they're interested and curious, two good qualities for SF. | |
