we are using your forum software (and a cron job) to sync with an external DB. this works wonderfully, however the DB holds OLD posts to this forum whereas the 'public' frontend (non-fud) doesnt. (the public front-end is a very ugly and slow piece of software. and it deletes messages from 'public view' after 50 days.) however after the messages expire from the front end they stay in the DB, and since we are pulling from the DB we can see the old messages. this wouldnt normally be an issue but if we use the 'unanswered posts' feature it lists messages that are unanswered old -- new (we see the old messages first) and if we respond to the 'expired' messages on the 'public front end' we look like we are posting a new thread even though it is in response (this obviously confuses the hell out of people seeing open posts worded as replies).

so basically is there any way to set an expiration date on messages via activity ? for instance have all threads with no activity in 50 days expire ?

this would be a great help.
