The Permanent Red Link Club

When the hell did it get so huge?

Also, I no longer hold the distinction of being the only troper on the page. At least I get a spot next to FalconFly, strangely enough.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the Permanent Red Link Club?

Myrmidon

A bunch of former articles that we will never, ever bring back.

The_Edge

OH! Like Fetish Fuel and so on.

The_Edge

Well, you must be awesome to be on that page.

It's also a great way find which banned tropers have the dubious honor of being unpersoned.

The_Edge

I wonder if I'm there. Probably not. I didn't do anything with my contributor page.

Elbeem

Weren't the contributor page cut/lockings done after other people were editing them post-banning?

vacasama

For Some Guy's page that was case,

I think the history on mine was also partially deleted.

Elbeem

Older history entries get culled every now and then. I'm not sure there's a way or a reason to manually delete parts of a history page.

ClockworkUniverse

^Histories do sometimes get manual deletions, but only if something really awful finds its way on.

Elbeem

Ah, I stand corrected then.

ClockworkUniverse

I don't think it's so much a mod tool as it is Fast Eddie manually removing it, though.

TuefelHundenIV

The histories will eventually be purged after enough time.

The_Edge

^Scary when put into context of real-life.

MillerCross

Good thing we're not talking about that, then.

The_Edge

I know, right? I'm just imagining that line being spoken by Tim Curry in his villain voice.

Just look at him!

@Elbeem: Only the newer history was deleted. The oldest edits I made which were just placeholders saying I'd eventually add something there are still in the history log.
