Graham, please tell us what you think we should do.  Here are our constraints:

1.  We cannot afford to keep all abandoned content because it slows down our database.  If you want to see the consequences of this, try surfing around http://old.nabble.com/ .  The database there is just too big, so performance is unacceptably slow.

2.  We have 2 programmers, so we do not want to spend time on complicated solutions.  Please keep it simple.

At the very least, please make the warnings visible to the user WITHIN Nabble — do not require the user to STEP AWAY from Nabble to maintain it! (AFAIR that suggestion was made previously.)

It is visible WITHIN Nabble.  We show a message at the top of the forum that is scheduled for deletion.
