Why are these threads deleted so often?

I read this newsgroup via NNTP using Thunderbird. The threads are never
deleted off the server, but the length of time before the threads are
deleted off my system are controlled by Thunderbird. The default is 30 days.

The newsgroup is visible to search engines, so just do a web search for
any topics of interest:
