Previously when a board or subforum became inactive it was moved to the Archived Non-Silgrad section more or less intact. As time passed on more and more boards found their way to that section, including several retired Beyond Cyrodiil projects.
The outdated material started taking up quite a bit of room in the forum database, and given that the material is outdated by its very nature it 'cluttered' forum searches and board lists. I decided to make html copies of all the boards, like I had previously done with Thras, and then proceed to delete the boards from the forum database. The html copies are stored on ST's backup server and will live on there indefinitely.
If you made posts on those boards then the deletion of those posts from the forum database affects your post count.
