Don't think these were deleted or privatized - from the thread titles, they seem innocuous.

I suspected that there was a setting that someone - administrator, moderator - could set...this is most likely the case, particularly in view of the comment below.

In that case, I can't possibly see the utility of the "expire" option and probably won't ever use it again, since the only reason I ever used it was to make it so the redirect didn't clutter up the forum after it ceased to be useful.
If you are going to use "expire" I vote for a 48-hour timeframe - that should be enough for most of us to catch up on our subscription emails.
(I appreciate mods' diligence in keeping the forest of threads pretty organized, which seems to have increased in the past year or so - just want to be able to follow something that has been moved!)
