Is there a way to tell if a thread is about to be deleted because of nonuse?

I know that with phpbb, if a thread fell off a certain page, then it would be automatically purged.

I am not familiar with how vBulletin works, so I'd just like to know if "bumpage" is necessary to keep threads alive, or if there is no danger of threads ever being deleted.

Thanks.

Same thing as with phpBB, threads have an expiry date.

Also, don't bump threads unless it's necessary.

Alright man, thanks for the info.
