Shouldn't we all calm down a bit?
It's not the end of the world. The purge didn't actually hurt or kill anyone. Like has been said, if some threads seem relevant, they can be brought back or users can create new ones. It feels like people are arguing here just because they want to argue.
Of course, it's clear that this was overall poorly organized. It's a good suggestion that next time we're given even few days heads-up about what is going to happen. And if I can suggest, I encourage the forum staff to talk to each others beforehand. So everyone can be on the same page and decide together which threads and sections need to be purged.
One more suggestion: how does it sound if us ordinary users could help with the decisions? Like, for example, in the form of some anonymous poll or something. We could give our vote about what needed to be purged. It could be helpful data to the staff next time the purge is needed. However, it brings more work and I understand that it might be too much, since the staff has so much already to be taken care of.
