I coded this snippet for RC3 quite a while ago, but it should work with all 3.x-Versions.

Is it just me or does this seem to be pruning based on last views instead of last post?

Looking at the code it shouldn't be, but on my test site it is pruning by views...

Any one else having that problem? or any ideas what could be wrong?

This is not true. Function delete_thread() also removes the posts, edit-notes, etc.

@Cyricx
No. Threads don't even have a 'last view' property ...

Thanx for clarify that

How would one modify this to auto-move threads to a specific forum instead of deleting them?

KirbyDE could you explain this step a little further?
I am new to VB and i am not sure what i should do here.

Thanks

2. Add the following phrase to phrasegroup Forum-Related Phrases
varname: prune_after
text: Prune After<dfn>Stetting this to a value > 0 will automatically prune all threads from this forum where the last reply is older then the set amount of days</dfn>

I found where i needed to apply step 2.

Thanks
