Default Did offtopic.com purge their posts?

I was looking at a few old posts on here a while ago. I noticed that offtopic.com kept coming up as the largest vbulletin forum. In one post here it said that they had over 100 million posts. I went over to offtopic.com to check and they had 9,956,788 posts. Are most of the posts only available to registered users, or did they purge all their posts a while ago?

He is saying if you want to know, " Are most of the posts only available to registered users, or did they purge all their posts a while ago? " to register and see.

Just wondering, why would a forum that big purge their posts? Must have taken them off of the big board list. I checked about a month ago and they had 10 million posts. Maybe those posts are still available to administrators. It could be that they auto move the old threads/posts to an admin only section.

A "Big Board" was considered a site with over 500,000 posts. At 10 million posts, they still qualify. Not only that, but Big Board really doesn't mean anything at all these days.

And just wondering, but have you ever run a site with a lot of posts? There can be server issues with a site with a lot of posts if you aren't always on top of it. I prune users and threads regularly on my site. Less users definitely helps my site run smoother.
