Brief Summaries + All the Walks threads are (almost) broken. - by fortuni

In recent weeks I have started to experience severe problems editing both the(

https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=151182) All the Walks threads due to the increasingly excessive number of links in both of the threads.
I can wait up to 20+ seconds for the server to react when I type anything, and often only a few words that I type appear on screen before what I have typed freezes again and I have to wait another 20+ seconds before I can do anything else, and if I accidently scroll down when waiting, what I type will appear wherever the cursor has landed.
This borking of these threads will only get worse as time goes by until eventually the threads will break entirely.
The solution is for Al_b to delete ALL comments in the threads allowing me to break down every section into 2 new sections (eg: T2: A-C, D-F, G-K, L-P, Q-S, T-Z) and then also leave a soft deleted post between every other section for potential future use. This is I'm afraid the only real solution, Al has looked into inserting empty slots but doesn't think that would work, so losing a few comments is the only way forward.
Doing this should extend the life of both threads by 20+ years I hope, but it does mean ALL comments must be deleted, so whilst this repair work is undertaken I would ask that nobody posts anything in either thread, if you do it will be deleted.
Thank you in advance for your understanding of this essential action.

Completely fine, I expected those threads to be only for the information that it gives anyway.
Never said it so I might as well do it now in here; thank you very much for your work with this type of information, I have found many great fan missions thanks to BS and 100% completed most if not all thanks to the walkthroughs database.

I expected the worst when I read the thread title, but this sounds quite solvable actually.
