A lot communities have “Posts older than 365 days will be removed.” in their description, but what does this mean exactly? It never says.

  • The database of posts only goes as far as 1 year, everything older gets wiped? I hope and assume that’s not it.
  • Posts with links to articles older than a year get removed?
  • If a thread is over a year old, no new comments will be added?

    Are you certain? Because to me it instantly removes the incentive to contribute since it won’t be retrievable/helpful to anyone beyond 1 year.

    It makes sense in communities made to share picture and such, but not where high quality answers are frequent.
