Ok folks...prepare yourselves...I can not recall ever seeing this before. It's been rumored (or rumoured for you backwards folk ;)) to exist, but it's never been officially confirmed before....

http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=90654

The above thread confirms the existance of the "Thrown Threads" forum. Now we know for sure where the threads go when they are deleted, and this time a mod (Chicken himself) confirms it!

Like they deleted all threads that should be removed. . . they are obviously all kept for future reference. .. .

I actually saw it once and spent a minute in there before it disappeared again. I guess someone was twiddling with permissions or something.

Yeah, it has been mentioned before, but...

The majority of posts/threads that are removed are actually moved, not removed. Only posts which are really of no value what-so-ever are deleted (things like blank posts, etc.).

where do you move individual posts?

Same place - vB allows us to split individual posts off each thread and move them to a different forum where needed. Extremely useful feature.
