1. the email heading needs to be amended. Your forum is about to be deleted is not as accurate as some redundant threads are about to be deleted. It's also very scary to read and people are panic-ing (like I did this morning)

We have improved this email.

2. if someone deletes their post in the middle of a long thread it doesn't seem right that all the info that comes after is also gone. Would it be possible to just have a placeholder saying XXX removed their post and leave everything else intact?

Some forums simply don't allow users to remove posts, so users edit posts to delete the content.  We could do that but that still doesn't address moderators removing posts.  We will allow moderators to edit posts when we have wiki features in place, so then this will solve this issue.  But this is a few months off.
