Is there a way to delete a thread?
I would like to delete this thread and amend my question: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...lley-bolt.html
I tried editing and the title doesn't change in forum view so its still the old question and not getting any responses.

We can change the thread title if you provide it to us. After X amount of time passes of the posting, members are unable to edit the thread title as seen in the forum.

As the FAQ you linked to indicates with the wording of "may" and the more direct note that Administrators may have the option turned off, it is setup by the Administrators so that posts can't be deleted.
I'm curious also... Is there No way to delete Old Posts... I think it reads something like this... "If you started the Thread, you can delete the thread"... How do we do that... see here

Or why would we (as a community) want old posts removed? Old posts can contain information that may answer a question another member had.
Some may think that we need to delete content for the server when trying to incorrectly compare it to a desktop home computer. First, CorvetteForum runs on more than one server. Second, if storage is a concern, it can be expanded. Third, posts don't take up a lot of disk space through the database. Fourth, databases can handle a lot of data.
Yes, CorvetteForum and our parent company do not believe in deleting posts because it's not necessary and posts add value.
