Pruned Message Archive?

[Knightmane]

I better further explain what I was told at the time...

This mod/hack would allow the admin to view even so-called ''permanently deleted'' threads and posts because they'd actually still exist, though unseen by regular members, in the board's table structure. This pruned archive would only be viewable from Admin CP, so it's not actually part of the regular board.

I never heard anything more about the project and I don't remember who had told me of this, nor who was working on it.
