What the hell happened?
It seems like only yesterday that the General forum had well over 14,000,000 posts, and now has significantly less than that amount.
Were several threads deleted?
Did someone purge all their posts?
Were several users deleted perhaps?
This is strange indeed.
A truly prophetic sig...

The most plausible reasons, I believe.
Why do we need old ass threads that you can't even post in anyway?
And the shitposting cycle begins anew~!

As a reminder of the way things were many years ago.

Well, we should leave the past. This is NEWgrounds, after all.
I can't tell if you're serious or if this is a DSB parody thread.

Are you suggesting that threads should automatically be deleted after reaching a certain age?

Does this look like a copy of a Gamefaqs article to you?

It's up to the staff to do what ever the hell they want. It was just an idea I had.
Probably just a bit of cleaning or something. You probably nailed it with one of those reasons you listed.
brains.

Most because I didn't notice a drop in my post count: Which kinda adds to the mystery...

14 million posts, man. That's a lot of calories, man.

Maybe not DSB, but most certainly DSG:
@DarkSkaterGirl (or however you spell her name): I can't seem to find her anywhere on this site, anymore.

Gary-X was entering the professional world and decided it was time to close down his account - that was over 11k posts right there. A few other users with big post records have had their accounts deleted in the past month as well.
With the passage of time, people become embarrassed by their forum activity or it becomes a liability. If everyone just acted normal we might not have these problems!

This is something I'm very aware of now that I'm in the games industry, this account has posts from my teen years that I'm not necessarily proud of, but said nonetheless. It seems the internet is very giddy on holding people accountable to things they said in the past under the assumption that the person can't or hasn't changed.
I doubt I'll ever ask that this account get deleted or my posts be removed, it's a nice view into how I've evolved as a person and it's quite hilarious to read some of my old posts and cringe at the grammar.
The point of it being a liability still raises a bit of fear into me, not because I'm particularly embarrassed by things I've said on here, but because others might bring them to employers and say "hey, look what he said!" Things like that can be damaging when no context is given, and it's usually too late to avoid leaving that employer before the full story comes out because the damage has been done.
