Default deleting old posts

I've been trying to delete old posts in my control panel and just can't find a way. I think all the posts I replied to are still there, is it important to clean them out, now and then, or just let them add up? I don't have too many, 250 plus .... its rainy here and I'm little bored.

You can't delete old posts. You can delete the links to those posts that are shown in Subscription section of the UserCP. But if you do so, you will delete the Subscription - meaning you won't get notified or easily see if any received recent replies.

No, there is no need to delete them.

It is not connected to your computer. It's stored on your account in the database on CorvetteForum's servers.

Not everyone has them. And 50 posts doesn't mean 50 subscriptions because Subscriptions can be changed per post.

Some members don't use Subscriptions. If you don't use Subscriptions, you don't have those posts listed in the Subscriptions of the UserCP.
