I was wondering about What happens to really old threads? I know they get locked after 30days, but do they get deleted?

No, everything gets retained in relative perpituity, forever available to Googlers the world over.

Storage issues? The database as it is now is not even 1 GB. I wouldn't worry about storage issued for some months I would say.
