Sayonara E-mail field, and delayed thread pruning

Today we’re making two noteworthy changes:

  1. The E-mail field has been replaced with Options. This field had mainly been used for posting options such as sage and dice-rolling. If a user wishes to provide contact information, they can do so in the Comment field.
  2. We’re trialling delayed thread pruning on specific boards. While not a true archive, threads on /a/ and /v/ will continue to be accessible for a period of 48 hours after being pushed off of the board index. We may roll this out to additional worksafe (blue) boards in the future, as well as increase or reduce the retention period.
