How long do deleted games stay deleted

Over a year ago I had to purge about 8 games I was running due to a job change and I've noticed that they're all still there.

Just curious how long they will stick around because I thought I saw other games from other people deleted after those games that have already been purged from the site.

I'm not sure of the exact algorithm involved...but it depends on how long the game was active, how many posts were in it, etc...a game that never got off the ground goes away faster.  (This may be how long a game sits inactive before it's marked for deletion, if the GM doesn't delete it on their own...I don't recall for sure.)

It also, if I recall correctly, depends on how long it takes someone at the moderator level to decide there are enough deleted games to go through and purge them...it's not an automatic thing.

I will likely do the next purge sometime between Thursday - Sunday over the Thanksgiving holiday.

In reply to Shannara (msg # 4):

I'm really surprised that there isn't a script for that.

There is a script, but it has to be manually activated ... and I also keep a record of the deleted games, so that people who keep undeleting old games but never use them can be asked to move said games to their own archival system.
