Move non-backed-up releases to Graveyard immediately?

[corocoro]

As mentioned in the Trumping Thread, there's only six slots (three resolutions times two languages) for each anime that are backed up.
Now, the question is whether the ones that are not backed up should be moved to the Graveyard immediately.

The advantages are that it shows what can actually be fixed, cuts down on complaint resolution time (e.g. telling people there's no backup and to use the mirror), makes storing decisions more transparent (and more open for debate, I guess), and hopefully eliminates all those "what version to get" questions.

Disadvantages are an increase in organizing time (moving things and removing them from the index), those threads can't be found in Google anymore (potentially reducing the amount of new members), the files are often still live (people looking for them might be turned away), and newbies might thing half the forum has been deleted.

Poll's up; feel free to discuss the matter and/or raise points I missed so far.

Move it to the backyard or create a sub thread with all the trimmed thread there and make it a sticky.

I've been around for a little bit, though I don't participate in any discussions usually. I have no clue about how you operate or file/index your massive collection (though I did learn a little about it reading your "trumping thread"). I just use your "Ongoing Anime Series" and "Complete Anime Index" threads, provided those do not fundamentally change I guess I really don't care. Sorry I couldn't be more constructive.

I accidently clicked don't move.

I think moving it would be good. You can get all files reorganized and the sooner the better or the problem/mess would get too big to conquer. All anime that is not updated/dropped should be removed to graveyard. This would keep all the threads in top quality. I find that better than a large list with links that don't work.
