Keep forum question but delete old responses?

Keep forum question but delete old responses?

I am the administrator of our Moodle site and, as a teacher, I posted a forum question for my class to respond to last year.

I want to be able to delete last year's responses and use the forum again. However, I don't see how I can delete the old posts and use the original forum question again. Is there a way to do that?

Perhaps I have to delete the forum and re-enter it again. Thanks for your help in advance.

A successful strategy that I have used to easily move the entire collection of news forum messages is to rename the current forum from News to News 2005 and unsubscribing all the users and creating a new forum called News. The old forum can remain there as an archive or be hidden from students.

Thanks, Roland. I will experiment with that idea.

My solution was to copy and paste the initial question into a new forum with a different name. Then I hid last year's forum so I could keep it for future reference.

It looks like it will also work.
