Hi experts,

Say I make a new forum, especially one that is unique, and users create many threads there, so there are over 100 threads in a few months.

If I decide the new forum is not one that is contributing to the board, if I delete it, what happens to the threads left behind?

My 2 cents.
I would never delete a forum, Just from old school teaching.
Just change the permissions so it is not visible. or turn it off.
Deleting the forum normally will delete the threads.

I agree with Ruben, and have done exactly that a few times. I have also moved the posts to other forums, if that makes sense in your case.
