The way it works is that if there is any activity (meaning views) in the forum, then all threads in that forums are safe.  Only the top node (the forum) is checked for deletion.  If your entire forum is inactive, then you can still keep it by saying that you don't want it deleted every 3 months when you get the notice.  And even if the forum is deleted, the threads inside the forums are not deleted.  What happens is that after the forum is deleted, these threads become top level independent nodes and then they subject to the same deletion process after 3 months.  So if a forum owner allows his forum to be deleted, thread starters can still save their threads.  Does this process make sense?
