I will apologize in advance for interfering with your reading.
I have undertaken what is going to be a long project - an attempt to clean out the ID section of the forums. I have been asked to do so as this category has now reached a vast depth and noone is going to bother going back 22 pages to look for something when most of them are entitled "What is this" or "I need help". It was 32 pages before I removed the dead link requests. We thought it best that if the item is identified, it should be re-titled and placed in the category to which it belongs, ie Transformers, Wrestling figures, Western figures, MOTU, etc.
Unfortunately, when this is done, it makes it look like a new entry - you will see some names that have not posted here in quite awhile. If you read the forums by using the "last 100 method", this is going to affect your reading time. To those reading section by section, it will appear that the last entry in a particular topic was done in 2005, 2006, etc.
What I am going to do is title the item and put the term "ID" on the end, such as "Mighty Max ID", where the "ID" portion is to signify to you that the item has been moved after its identification and if you choose to skip over it, feel free.
The things that wil remain in the ID section will be the multiple ID requests such as the weapons where, they are all (hopefully) numbered as there is no one place to put them as we would like. The unidentified items will also remain here.
As I said, this is going to take some time. I do not know if it will be a matter of a day or two, a few days or weeks at this point. I will have to see how it goes.
Please pardon the dust.
