Lol.. my bad ! But with that logic, I don't see Alliance's or Santeria's forum ?? exceptional?? 

Every crew that is deleted from the "new" system (check an old post in the News fourm) has it's forum contents dumped into the Site Archive, for no other reason that it's far to much effort to go thru and delete every post.* Not every crew has a forum (the crew needs 5 members to activate it).

* To delete the contents of the forum would require the script to run thru every thread and run thru every post in that thread to delete things such as the 'Like' records etc, (it would be sloppy code to leave 'orphaned records') it can then delete the posts and then it can delete the threads. It would then need to recalculate the post count for every person who has posted in there (past and present crew members, remember people leave). 

So to quicken the release of the new crew system (I code the site in my spare time) I made the decision to simply move the threads to a new forum (programmically, one line of code compared to dozens).
