Right now in Baseball Talk, the oldest thread is "BP: Mulder Update" and the last post in it was made on August 15 2006, exactly one year ago today. I'm willing to bet it will be missing by this time tomorrow due to some kind of auto-archive/delete routine.

Fixed.

Unfortunately we've lost those posts forever.

Yes.

It explains why we lost around 10K posts when we upgraded.

The new version of phpBB added an auto delete script?

It looks like it. What's weird is the auto prune was only enabled for half the forums. Perhaps it was a bug with the conversion

Is this related to the reason why some user profiles show "most active forum" and other information while others don't?
