if you now start trying to be forming databases and link/sort everything by event, HR boss, quest, etc ... thats great, i love it! however then please stop telling others to research old posts and suggest to make new posts to ask questions about it. there is a fine line between adding information and bringing new facts and having questions that wherent answered before or just simply "necro" a thread and close it.

Ideally a 'official' tread could be maintained for each hero/boss and the relevant parts of other treads copied into it with a link to the full discussion. This would provide one place to find out information about the hero/boss in one tread and if you want to look at the discussion you can use the link. Unfortunately that is a lot of work. I, for one, do not have the time to do it. Perhaps if we ma group of people in the forum would volunteer to maintain a few of the treads then it could be done. It does not take a moderator to do it either.

no, that would be then the job of a tynon-wiki, you'd be going too far with that. but in the characteristics of a forum, it could be ensured that one thread per boss will held open and not closed. off topic posts could be simply deleted (instead of closing or deleting the entire thread, like someone else loves to do) and over time everything would sort each other out. people could use the search function properly and see on top a 20+ pages thread they can read or if changes to the game mechanics where made could add to it.
ps: in general, it would be nice to get a notice by the system if your post has been edited/censored or even deleted "your post got deleted. reason: insert whatever applies"
I agree with you 100% that a lot of this info should be in the wiki. Unfortunately no one updates the wiki, or looks at it for that matter. If it is not in the forum then we will be getting the questions over and over.
As far as one thread per boss/hero, that is what I was proposing. The problem with deleting the off topic stuff is that there are only 3 moderators and one has limited availability because he is in the military and has limited availability to the internet. The only practical way would be to have other members of the forum 'adopt' a set of heroes and/or bosses and then maintain the tread so that the summary information is at the top of the tread and is updated from the discussions withing the tread and in other treads.
There will still be a need for separate treads because there could be discussions of different aspects of the hero at the same time and having it all on one tread is confusing. This could be comparing a hero to another hero, for example. I also think that the formations to beat the bosses and Royal Challenge heroes needs to be separate for the same reason.
