How do I remove all posts from a forum that are older than 30 days?

I'm not sure that would be easy to do with a MySQL query, since you'd have to deal with deleting posts that have replies, and there may be multiple tables that have to be updated.

Why not just edit the forum settings to expire posts after 30 days?

Good point. I was thinking that "Delete Thread" did this, but I was mistaken. The message that "Delete Thread" displays is misleading, and implies that all expired threads are deleted.
