Has the policy of Chat threads being deleted after 90 days been changed?

I just wondered as I was searching for something earlier, and a Chat thread from 23/09/13 popped up, which by my reckoning is 158 days ago.

Is it just a glitch?

How odd! Well spotted BOF, we'll try and work out what's going on.

IamtheZombie · 02/03/2014 16:23

On a Sunday, Fru?

Any MNHQers available to answer this?

ChaosTrulyReigns · 02/03/2014 16:00

What do OPs know, Fru?

NymodigFruOla · 02/03/2014 09:54

I don't think so. Anyway, loads of OPs say "I'm posting this in Chat so it eventually disappears". And, certainly in my case, I'm rather relieved that some of my more idiotic posts will eventually disappear

Did it all change when the 30 Days Only topic was introduced?

Maybe the note at the top of Chat hasn't been altered to reflect that?

Is it from when the thread was started or from when it was last posted on?

RandallFloyd · 02/03/2014 08:42

I really want to know which book it is!

NymodigFruOla · 02/03/2014 08:40

That's a bit worrying.

If I'm correct, 90 days ago from today's date (2nd March) is 2nd December - but I've just had a look and there are threads dating back way before that.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 01/03/2014 22:00

I think I know which one you mean. I couldn't find it either. I am intrigued.
