In order to maintain the level of speed and reliability our users have come to love, we do purge inactive forums that have not received any posts for 90 days.
If your forum goes 90 days without a post, we will email you letting you know your forum is about to expire. You will then have 5 days to make a post on your forum, or it will be disabled. Once a forum is disabled there is a 7 day grace period where we will be able to restore forums as requested by the owner. After that grace period has expired, inactive forums will be permanently removed from our system.
Please note: Forums that have an active upgrade, or active upgrade subscription on them, aren't currently being removed for inactivity (even if they meet the inactive posting requirement listed above). So if your forum isn't so active at the moment, but has ad-removal, etc. applied to it, you won't have to worry about it being removed for inactivity!
