Any donation?https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/12/12.gif
I'm not begging but If you want, I would be glad to receive a small donation. There are 4.4 million unemployed in my country and It is hard to be employed.

looks good... will look into it shortly :)

nice idea!

Any suggestion?

Great! This is EXACTLY what I was searching for - a cron job that automatically moves threads from one subforum to another after a certain period of time! ;)

Nice idea =)

Could be an option to mark threads to be auto purged? So after some days from the creation date the thread would be moved to another forum?

Wonderful.

I have a forum that is dedicated for "post testing". So as you can expect it fills with junk. This will be a good way to clear this out.

Do you mean to mark them manually? I do not think it could be possible at the moment. It would require to add a lot of code, but I'll keep it in mind.

Working in 4.1.10 Alpha 2

Request: In a future version, can you please have it so I can ID more than 1 forum with more than 1 function?

That is to say, I'd like this to delete everything in forum "X" (the forum people use to test post), but move other post from from Y,W,Z into an archive forum.

As it stands now, I can only do one or the other and not both.

@OldSchoolDSL, I think you are able to do it now. Please, If you find any bug, report it and I'll fix it.

@Seductor (autonote): Remove only threads without replies.

1.0.3b released: I have fixed a MYSQL error. Sorry guys, it was a silly mistake.
