Hello,
I realised that I dont ignore and/or filter out topics and/or tags because I think they are costly for the servers.
Is there something to it or is it almost free?
Can I help alleviate the cost by going back and "unignore" posts that won't clutter my frontpage any longer since they aren't active?

In the past couple of weeks I've recently watched some console retrospective videos while doing some chores (Liam Triforce's videos on the PS2 and Dreamcast).
It got me curious if anyone would be interested in discussion/retrospective threads on the different console generations/consoles?
I was thinking about using the Wikipedia page for the history of video game consoles to guide this, and potentially adding in some threads for different stages of PC gaming (i.e. decade or 5 year periods).
If there is interest I was thinking of having this be a weekly post. I'd love feedback on which consoles to cover/how granular this would be.
I.e. would it be better to discuss all of a generation's consoles in one thread or separate threads.Some sample questions I thought of for different consoles:
- What was your favorite memory of this console?
- Favorite/least favorite game on the console?
- "Hidden" games you've played that you think could use more attention?
- Have you gone back to play games on this console or do you still play this games on this console regularly?
- Do you have the console physically or do you emulate the console?
- Are there any region specific games that you wished had been brought to your region, and if there are have any of them been fan translated?
- Are there any interesting tidbits you'd like to share about the console? This could be from promotional campaigns, development stories, fun facts.
I don't play as many new games as I used to, but I've also realized there are tons of games on the consoles I did play that I have never heard of or got the experience to play and would love to go back and try them. I've also seen some channels where people try to play every game on a console which sounds like an interesting experience, especially the guy who is trying to play all 4,000+ PS2 games that were released!
