It can take time but I personally think for anything deemed "original content" it's worth the effort.
The last thing I would want to see is OCC become a shell of its former self, thread after thread of original content deleted. I think this site was built on original content and should continue to thrive with that same content.

hopefully im not setting any precedent here. I dont get the general feeling that content is being removed from this site.
in hindsight, I might have moved a little slower and talked things over with the mods more. but I had no idea when I started asking that stuff be removed how far I would go eventually, and I was in a hurry at the time.
I would have been fine with a temporary take down. No problem. Just remove my posts and put the thread back up. Is it still possible to do this? It does sound like a lot of work though, and it would probably only be useful regarding two threads (campus run and portlandnighttime WNBR since no one seems to have missed the other threads).

EDIT: dont know how much truly original content there was in these threads. I put up some. The majority of the content was not original
