Why did Fluther just get rid of (about) 35 of my "Questions for You"?

I hadn’t opened any tabs, I just refreshed the page.
(I was going to leave them for a while on a hunch about an award.)
Is there something written into the code that deletes “Questions for You” that are over 1 day old?

Old questions (I think maybe something around a week?) that have more than a certain number of responses are cleaned out regularly.
As you have seen, the Fluther bot takes questions off your list after they have been around a certain amount of time, and have a certain amount of answers. They can still be found in the “active” tab, and the dated list, if you want to hunt for them.
I think it was Ben or Tim that gave some details of the pruning. It works great for me. I got up over 10K “Questions for You” and I never bothered checking them. Now I actually do since it isn’t so overwhelming now.
They were only a day old…that’s definitely odd. :P
Thanks for the help, anyway!
Do you guys also have massively cluttered inboxes?
@anon :: My “Comments for You” is 83 pages long. But I stopped deleting those a long time ago since they are nice to have and don’t hurt anything.
And there is this. Which is actually a lot better then it was.
@johnpowell Wow! That would seriously annoy me. And I mean’t your actual non-Fluther email inbox ;)
That’s so weird to me – I have to clean out all of my questions, comments, and activity slots every time I log on.
I always delete my “questions for you”.
samething happened to me a couple of days ago @evegrimm and it was also only a day or two, well a day or two since I noticed them. I was planning on answering some of them too and that’s why I left them as new and didn’t go ahead and read the subject.
