Nope. Tested that, log entries remained.
And, as annie pointed out, your forum is different to this one.
I didn't do it. AiA couldn't have done it (his account was deleted). The complete removal strongly suggests a purge with the account.
I believe they got automatically purged with the deletion of AIA's account. There are 62 pages of the mod logs missing here - and not a single mod entry for AIA is to be found anywhere, but there are hundreds of entries for Boxy.
Now Monk will not agree with what I think, because the experiment he did on his own board did not result in the purging of mod logs.
But it could have on
this board. This is because even though the two boards are the same 2007 version of the software, there are so many settings in the admin panels that no two site owners will have their boards set up to look and work in exactly the same way.
There could be minor differences in features or the way the board displays pages, etc etc. Here is an example.
On Monk's board, when we experimentally delete mod entries, the page count goes down and blank pages disappear as if they never existed.
On this board, the pages that are missing are at the end, and they are still there and still numbered, but they are blank. This indicates that the two boards are displaying the same feature in a different way.
