I just checked and not one of these forums has had a posting for the last 10 days. Yet they occupy a place of honor high up in the forum list and there are a whole lot of them.

If they provide historical context, can they be combined or moved somewhere less prominent? If not, how about considering deletion again? If the "phone services provider" forum is just being deleted, certainly these can be too.

I think hardly anyone even bothers with these forums once the program they report on has been moribund for a year or more -- even the Ansett one isn't being used for jokes anymore.
