In the "Other Forums" section, posts are being deleted from General Chat, Tech Help, and Gaming. But so far News & Announcements (which is totally useless these days) are untouched as far as I can see,
Edit: My Account/Billing count is dropping now... and Full Fibre...

Hopefully we will get a believable explanation by this time next year - if the forum still exists, but I doubt it.

The number of Topics, and the post counts continue to fall - but I notice that the "Fixed problems" count is static. I would have expected the number of topics marked "Fixed" would fall as they get deleted. They could easily end up with more Fixed than Topics.

Someone, somewhere has dropped an almighty lump of concrete with this, but they'll never admit it.

Unless you have an examples of threads and posts which are now no longer available to view, I'm wondering if the issue is with the totaliser of the number of posts at fault rather than a mass deletion of topics or posts.

No, threads are definitely disappearing.
Go to the Broadband forum, select the last page (was 1054 earlier today,currently 420) then refresh your browser.
The list of items on that page get fewer, then you get an error when that page goes away.
The threads on that page aren't being deleted, it is a few pages earlier that they are going from. For some reason some dregs are being left at the end.
You can also watch the count of Topics at the top level - that has fallen by well over 10,000 so far today. Since I started looking over 500,000 posts have been deleted.

How is yours set? This is the default
Linear Format Topics per page, the small the number the greater number of pages
With 30 I get 417 pages

I do not believe there are dark forces or BT involved, something strange is happening, if recent posts/threads disappear then it would be a major issue.
Edit: for now I will no longer comment as this is not really going anywhere

Whatever it is that is happening, no-one seems to be enlightening us - or, apparently, doing anything about it. I first reported the issue at 11.08AM yesterday, and topics/counts are falling like a brick.

I don't think whatever is happening can be anything other than deliberate action. Only certain fora are affected (so far), and they are mostly the ones with the most posts. The criteria being used aren't obvious, but it may be at least in part the age of the thread that is a factor.
The motivation for doing this also isn't clear. The effort to cull posts will cost more than leaving them. If particular forum is no longer required then it could simply be removed rather than deleting individual posts.
Since Plusnet make a thing out of having a "community" it seems strange to totally sideline that community.
