superLED suggested a "Quick Question" topic, which made me think, would it be possible to have some section of the forum systematically clear itself out?

For example, if it's a question that won't really be a benefit to others, why keep it hogging all the server space?

Just figured it would be an idea worth putting forth.

We prefer to keep it in the archives rather than just deleting it altogether. That's why even the dumbest of dumb posts are kept in "Posts You Shouldn't Make". The only posts that ever get completely deleted are spam posts. We've migrated to a new host since the database overflow that caused the forums to stop working. Theoretically, our storage space is now "unlimited" so we don't have to worry about keeping legitimate data.

Actually, that's one of the reasons I decided to suggest such a thing (the database overflow).
Fair enough though, just thought it was worth mentioning.
