It was kind of frustrating to go to my list of several subscribed topics just now and see only ONE of them left. Then I saw the message at the bottom of the page - "Note: Subscriptions are pruned if there is no reply to the topic after 5 days."

What's the point of pruning them like that? There were several threads I was following and others that had information in them that I subscribed to so I could read them at my leisure, and now they're gone. I guess I could bookmark the threads and access them directly through my browser, but it's nice to be able to see an organized list of topics within my Control Panel area here on the site.

Am I overlooking something or do I have a right to be ticked off?

ah, i see what you mean. I removed the pruning sorry for the inconvenience caused

Because I get several mails like this one every day:

Martin, thanks so much for changing that, much appreciated.

Xper - sorry, I don't understand the connection between your issue and the one I brought up.

the forums are sending an email to all the subscribers, once an email is outdated and the topic is still subscribed the forums will try to send an email but it cant, so xper will get an error message in his email. thats the point

Yes. Thanks Martin.

Why not make a webmaster@msfn.org email address and let the forums use that instead of your own? Then you won't get those bounce-back messages.
