I suppose it may be preparation for the move to Jolt.
Do you know if purges will stop once we get to Jolt?

I think that it was just the easiest way to dump. There were no RPs on there and the conversations were less than important. It was fun, but Jolt already has something set up over there for a fun spamm forum.
I'm pretty sure the General forum had 936 pages yesterday, any now it's 806. That's one hell of a purge.
