topaz Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 (edited) having looked around this new place, and I appreciate peoples efforts cutting and pasting, I cant help but think its best to let bygones be bygones. if you really must 'dig up the past' then I suggest you create a seperate area as an 'archived' section with comparisons etc. sorry if you dont feel the same way, but i think it would confuse the hell out of me if i came here and had not been somewhere else since inception. I appreciate original authors doing their own stuff as I think that's a bit different (well done Joe) Edited March 15, 2006 by topaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XRT Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 No disrespect to you Topaz, but I think that we should try to save as many of our informative posts as possible. They are a great resource and will disappear when the "old" RWG comes crashing down. True, they can be recreated over time but why reinvent the wheel.

topaz Posted March 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2006 I agree. My point is that I dont think they should be copied and pasted as a full article into the relevent section including the replies and followups, but be stored in an archive. I'm thinking new users here, people who have never been to a replica board, its confusing me and i'm not new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isoroku Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 The original purpose of RWG was to simply be a social hangout...that attribute really came into it's own several months ago...got really busy, lots of traffic, etc. I think that the FIRST and FOREMOST priority is to bring over all the info from the Repair & Upgrade section....so that the info that will help watch lovers will be preserved...after that the photogallery I, replica vs. genuine....etc... These have less amounts of posts, so are easiest to bring over... The social aspect of RWG will build from nothing...where as the technical info will take alot longer to start from square one... just my opinion....nothing else. I will capitulate should anyone not concur..... Party on... @ Sailadams: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjajh Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 In my opinion Iso succinctly summarized the key elements of our forum. Social interaction will begin and build it's own base very quickly. Referencing past history is of limited value although there were some great moments. Retaining the hard to find knowledge around watch related matters is really important since many of the members truly come to this forum to learn. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomBombadil Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Good point Iso. I would love to build up the knowledge base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FasTTaP Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 Maybe a wiki would be more appropriate to store the old RWG knowledge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Manny Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Please make sure you bring over all the "who has the best sub" posts. This place wouldn't be the same without those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ideabiz Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Please make sure you bring over all the "who has the best sub" posts. This place wouldn't be the same without those. So, who has the best sub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
