I think it may be nearer three months without views.

I have a test forum where I test code and simulate other people's problems. I last posted there in May this year. I had a "forum due for deletion" message about a week ago. I reckon it must be at least three months since I visited the forum to check anything out.

I should also clarify... when I said "a few hours" I meant a maximum of 24, in line with the daily backups. I assume that they are run overnight and believe the servers are in the US. Depending where you are in the world and the  times of day when your forum is busy, the backup of your forum's server could be considerably less than a day old.

Here in the UK we tend to get our daily digest between 08:00 and 10:00 in the morning which would equate to somewhere between 02:00-04:00 over there. Each forum seems to have its own dedicated time slot for daily digests, so I assume each server goes through an overnight maintenance cycle in turn, running backup routines, issuing dormant forum notifications, responding to forum backup requests and issuing the daily digests etc.

This is all surmise based on experience. I have no inside knowledge of how Nabble actually works.
