We have a new process that automatically removes very old, unloved unanswered questions network wide.
Enable automatic deletion of old, unanswered, zero-score questions after a year?
The actual criteria isare:
- less than (question age in days * 1.5) views
- 0 score or lower
- no answers
- 1 comment or less
- asked more than 1 year ago
So, wait for these questions to get 365 days old and they should "die off" naturally.

This site was in beta on June 30th 2010 -- so by June 30th 2011 we should start seeing auto-deletion of these sorts of questions.
