We've made a few backend updates to the site to improve overall site speed, and also to help with search. Although OHW still operates on a resource-limited computing environment, these improvements should make things significantly better.
In addition, we've harmonized the auto-pruning settings. "Auto-pruning" means topics are automatically deleted after a certain period of inactivity (meaning no postings, no views, etc.)
Most forums auto-prune topics after 365 days of inactivity. Exceptions:
* The Library: Never
* Hotspots: 180 days
* Personals: 60 days
* Feedback: 60 days

Re: Site Update & Auto-Pruning Policies
There is a misconception that Allen used to manually drop threads. What he did was drop members occasionally who hadn't been on site for years and for sponsors who hadn't done anything for a long time. While dropping dormant members or dormant threads is not out of the question it is not a priority so only happens when something happens to cause attention to it.
