Is it possible to clean up the picture thread? Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Is it possible to remove the non-picture posts in the picture thread (preferably without deleting the entire thread in the process, this means you, Ming)? I'm lazy and don't like having to page through hundreds of "Lol, Skanky you sure are an ugly bastard" comments.

I vote banana. On the one hand, a cleaned up thread would be more convenient for the viewing, but OTOH, I think the comments are funny. So, undecided.

No, leave the comments. At least until I finish reading that thread. I started... let me see... some eight or seven months ago... I need to read it (see it?) from start to finish one of these days.

Any chance of you giving one of us lot the power to edit that specific thread for the purposes of pruning?

And by "one of us" I am in no way volunteering.

That's far too sensible a thing to do.

It also doesn't lend itself to public humilation by witty comment posters.

Wimp. I had to de-comment and split up a thread double the size of your Picture Thread over in the Scenario League. Of course, that thread was worth spending a couple hours on.

Of cource it could be done by a script deleting all posts in that thread not having an attachment. But it would probably take too long time to make if it should work in the same way as the normal delete post. function.

Are there pics with img tags? But that makes no sence. Attach a pic and post it in the Directory. If you have an uploaded pic then just post it in the directory

Funny thing is, it seems that only one person used the thread for what it was actually created for, and then he was laughed at .
