Today quite a number of weird things happened because of the "slowdown". I'm glad measures are being taken, and I'm hoping they will have effect
.
About the purging of the posting games board, I'd like to suggest that the policy for what a game thread is to be slightly changed, considering for example threads like the Singaporean thread, or, especially, the Internanational Thread.
I would also like to suggest the Downloads boards to be another target for the purging, considering that most threads there become outdated after only a few months.
Considering something completely else, I'd like to see less threads moved there or to trash because of a few bad posts, which I in some cases see as a punishment towards a lot more users than the actual offenders. I know most of those threads probably already are straining the rules, or are very inviting towards posts that might get them locked/trashed.
Please understand that I am only expressing a few thoughts and not complaining.
edit,
Maybe it could be an idea to require users use an external host for user avatars, instead of hosting them on the AHS server.
