I think that after a while, they get stuffed into the archives.
Rather than deleting them, they could hold some valuable information for people in a bind. for instance, i found my "freeing hydraulic lifters" guide in an archive of a pulsar site from like 2002. they are very handy to ahve around.

A forum is pointless if you delete its history.

Totally agree with that statement.
It would be silly to delte them.
But it would also be near impossible to sort them all our to delete the crap.

cool. I think that with vbulletin powered forums, you can set a setting to automatically archive them after a certain amount of time. that would be a start, just a suggestion though, I have'nt busted around vbulletin forums for a while.

If you don't wanna see them, change your preferences so you only get threads that have been touched in the last week....
