No, the irony is that Machka herself frequently resurrects threads that are 10 years old or more. One purpose of a forum is to archive threads so that people can use the information at a later date. If threads are deleted, that value is gone. Also, the forum has a search function which is less useful when old threads are randomly deleted.
