As for the timeframe, I'd prefer to get a warning 14 days, advising me that I have inactive treads on my forum. Then at 7 days, get a warning that inactive threads will be removed. Then a final warning 2 days before they are deleted.

I'm not too happy about having forum threads deleted. Wouldn't it be better to simply have an Archive function, rather than deleting inactive posts.? Some of the threads on my forum are sticky's and are therefor not active. I wouldn't want them to be deleted. And just because a particular thread on the forum isn't 'active', doesn't mean people don't read it.
