Nah. They get deleted.Threads don’t get deleted. Most of the time, threads that seem as if they were deleted were simply moved to a more appropriate subsection of the forum (e.g. Feedback and Suggestions, Bug Reports, the correct server forum, etc). It’s just that most people don’t seem to bother checking the other sections, so if they don’t see a thread in General Discussion anymore, they think it got deleted. It wouldn’t really be an issue if people were a little more self aware and posted in the right place to begin with.censorship? Is it just me or are threads getting deleted
In the past, threads have occasionally been moved to an admin only forum (where players can’t see the threads anymore) but that only happens if the thread has become so toxic that there is nothing of use in the thread. To my knowledge, that hasn’t happened in months, because the moderators and admins have been better at locking posts as they descend into chaos.
As for the OP, I agree with others here that it’s just because there hasn’t been any new content. Once some more new stuff is released, the forums will get busier with people discussing and complaining about the new things.

but yeah, I'm expecting a major resurgence to forums when Beta drops.
