For how long has it been inactive? (has it been more than 3 weeks or so?)

How famous is the artist?

It's easier to thumb through the forum's 15 pages- than a forum's 100 pages.

When I clear out, I think it's only fair that you know what I'm going after. Therefore I'm just gonna share this quick list of things I look for when I'm cleaning up this section:
I think its unreasonable to delete posts because inactivity or even duplicates.
Is there a disk space issue with JF? Is the search engine having issues?

Some enjoy a forum for its entire content of the subject, not the cherry picking of a few.
Some value the complete age of the forum so it may also be used as a reference.

How famous is the artist?
The rules seem a little gray.

I'm sure being a mod here is quite a burden but at the same time I think it really takes away when threads are cherry picked for deletion and the rules are not crystal clear or biast. Some wouldn't spend the time to post if it will possibly be deleted down the road because some just didn't get anything out of it.

I would also think the posting rules and maintenance rules would be similar for all forums on JF, even though each forum has their own mod. But I guess this board is unique for lack of active admin.

Just my opinion.
