Oh, I didn't know there was such an option. Should we try it?
The only problem is with the deletion sequence. I can't say that I have understood exactly how the messages will be deleted when we choose this option. That last paragraph... Did you understand what they are saying?
: "Important: The "Sort by Activity"
: option will also alter the way in which messages that
: exceed your message board's message limit are removed
: from your board. Instead of the "oldest"
: thread being removed (which when sorting by posting
: date is the thread at the end of your board), the
: thread with the least "activity", which has
: not received a reply in the longest time (which will,
: of couse, also be sorted to the end of your board)
: will be the thread that is removed. Although it is
: still the thread at the very end of your board that
: will be removed, this is not necessarily the
: "oldest" thread on your board. This could
: also mean that in a rare circumstance, if a single
: thread were to stay around long enough to itself
: exceed your message board's message limit (ie: if your
: limit were 1000 messages and that thread receives 1000
: replies), and push all other threads off of your
: board, that thread in its entirety would be erased
: from your board, leaving your board empty."
