Purge
confirmations and explanation, links needed, etc. Most forums on the official forums are subject to automatic "purges", where all threads over two weeks old without a redname post in it are deleted. This frees database space, and makes the forums and forum searches, etc., run faster. Some forums are set to never be automatically purged (for example, Announcements, Player Guides, and the Fan Art sections); old threads there must be manually deleted, if at all.
A common reference to this purging is that the deleted threads were "eaten" by the "purge monster" or "forum monster".
History
On July 27, 2009, the forums went down to migrate to the new forum software. The software changed from UBB.threads to vBulletin. On July 31, 2009, the forums came back up with the new software installed.
In addition to the new software, the European and North American forums were merged into one forum, allowing cross-client communication for the first time in "City Of" franchise history.
