Hmmmmmm... good question!
Usually, a thread DOES have to have SOME value. When I'm archiving threads, I read through them, and them make a decision.
The longer threads are almost always archived. In the Civ MP section, the longer threads that are just being used for setting up games are deleted!
However... since we are usually trying to move or delete 100's of threads, mistakes do happen.
And this looks like a classic example of one
