HELLOOOOO, forums mod people!
Why do you remove old game items from the chat? Maybe i want to talk about HOG or Negatron Cloak (wait, thats not old...where is it) Meki Pendant, Force of Nature, Kages Lucky Pick or other items that have been removed from the game. Why do you need to remove it from chat? That is some restrictive moderation, especially since thee is no other way (i know of) to insert and image into running text. Enlighten me why i cant show old items. Please.
Dr Clueless PhD1 votesIt's not some concerted effort to salt the earth they came from or anything. It's simple cleanup. The items aren't in the game anymore, so remove them from the list. The benefit of keeping the old icons around would be so small as to not be worth it.

i quite disagree, sir (about the "worth" part...). there is only a handful of items that were removed. its always good to talk about those items as they signify how the game changed. those images are most prob around 100kb. there is no reason not to keep them. Riot does have the couple of mb space on their server to store them, i would bet!
Dr Clueless PhD1 votesIt's almost certainly not an issue of storage, I agree. One area I could see argument for removing them, though, is that it could cause confusion for new players (seeing an item in the list that they've never seen in-game and can't identify). It's certainly not the strongest argument ever, but I'd be willing to believe that it weighed in on their decision.
Aerothal1 voteswell, right now we are in a strange overlap! An old item has been removed and now its back. but its not back yet (thats how i noticed that old items werent here in the first place! gimme that negatron icon!!!
