I went back and tried what you mentioned but I saw no "edit" to click on. There seemed no way to edit or modify any of my posts. Am I missing something or have they prevented everyone from doing that? I would love to sweep away all my footprints like I never existed over there.


You could edit Pre-VS posts early yesterday - they have now taken that away.  You can only edit posts that have been put on TOB since yesterday.
Some people are like Slinkies. They're really good for nothing; however, they can still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Thanks for the input. Somehow I am not surprised. :P

I guess the noticed everyone is gone.  No membership, no advertisers.

This is obvious to most of us, but to those who haven't gotten it...

VS blocked the ability to delete pre-VS posts because if we go remove everything we ever wrote, the knowledge goes away.  If the accumulated knowledge goes away, then there's no reason to visit that site (and it stops showing up in Google's webcrawling).  No visitors... ad space isn't worth anything.

My suggestion: since most of us have already left that board for dead, how about we work on growing the knowledge base of this board?  By that I mean, let's start taking some of the most valuable threads from the old Tech section and GMF, and start threads here with copied information.  If we can build a solid foundation of knowledge and know-how, there will be less need to go "hit" the old site.

I, for one, will be avoiding VS-owned boards as much as possible.  I'm on ducati.ms and read the Supersport section, but only when I can't get SS-specific info here (most of the engine info is identical, since my bike just has a 900 desmodue mill).

Update - looks like there is some level of editing/deletion of older posts possible now.  It seems to work for the majority of posts.

I'm doing it on my older posts.

It doesn't work on threads that you started (even your replies later on in the thread).
