How come this thread was still active? Shouldn't it have been purged into the archives???
(I see that Travelbuzz isn't purged... Wouldn't it help the board to ditch some of those 240 pages of threads??)

But didn't the archiving begin after the splitoff/creation of FT travel (which, IIRC, was created in July '01)?
In other words, TravelBuzz was moved to FT Travel before archiving went into effect. I think.

Sort of on this topic (!) but is there a set period after which threads get archived on FT miles? Or is it something that the tech guys do when they have spare time.
i.e. if a thread on BA, AA, UA etc has no posts since say May 1, 2003, WHEN does it move to archives? (And thus can no longer attract replies)
