Cleanup of message boards

As a newish player to Arelith, one issue I have noticed is that the message boards in game are choked up with messages going back "years" in game time. Could they be cleaned up - either by some sort of automatic function that causes them to decay after X period of time (I'd suggest 3-6 months game time), or by some nice DM type person manually deleting the excessively old messages?

As they stand now, they are mostly useless as there are pages of messages that go back years - and most of them are no longer valid or applicable to anything anymore.

This might be true for public message boards but boards are widely used for archiving letters/messages too. Decaying messages automatically from boards would erase the complete history of certain houses, guilds and other factions.

The character posting a message on the board has the opportunity to remove that message if it is not applicable anymore.
