There are only 24 pages as of this writing.

Why was everything past page number 23 deleted?

So was this a bug or some sort of clearing thing? It would be nice to get an answer.

Cleaning. Everything having no replies in sixty days was zapped.

Please don't try to take a position that the IJBM threads are some sort of deathless prose that will be missed.

I won't.

Is this going to be a common occurrence? Because I thought the "archiving" of threads last year was supposed to be a one-time thing.

Wait is this for all threads? In the other subforums too?

I think this only happened because IJBM had over 80 pages of threads at the time.

That much content cannot be good for the servers.

There are 100 threads on a page. That means that there were over 8000 old IJBM topics, almost 75% of which haven't had a response in the last two months.

Whoa. Never bothered to count.

Wow.

Might have a look at Yack Fest, too, but it is not a thing that will happen in general.

Oh thank goodness. I understand IJBM but taking it to the other subforums would've been to far.

Yack Fest threads show up less often than they do in It Just Bugs Me!.

It's only 22 pages long.

Yeah, looks like we can hold off on Yack Fest.
