We have a new process that automatically removes very old, unloved unanswered questions network wide.

http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/78048/auto-deleting-old-unanswered-zero-score-questions-after-a-year

The actual criteria is

  • 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.
