The reason why old posts are kept, are for reference i.e. search for a topic or subject and it will list all posts that are relevant.
Some posts required a lot of effort, research and people’s time and act as a library for future readings. Plus if one person starts to remove their old posts and others don’t, it destroys the complete thread. There is a lot of very valuable content within the archives which represents thousands of hours invested. Destroy that and you destroy the whole point of having a forum (board) all that’s left is a chat room.

Um isn’t this slightly off topic?
