Hi Austin,
For popular we are looking at a combination of articles that have high view counts over their lifetime as well as things that are getting hit regularly via search engines, etc to make sure we aren't getting rid of content that is being just accessed regularly. We also have a list of articles that we redirect to in the product that we will be setting up as well that goes beyond the February 2017 timeline we set.
In regards to activity it is conversations that have had a reply or activity on the actual thread since February of 2017, essentially anything that has had any activity since we moved to our current Community. Then there is a span of time beyond that we are looking at manually if they meet a certain threshold of viewership or specific themes that are still popular and relevant. Questions with no responses or with very low viewership (As in almost nothing over their lifetime) will be getting archived.
Everything from the current Community back to 2012 will be getting archived and can be recreated if we need to but we are using this as an opportunity to spring clean out a lot of content that is no longer relevant or outdated as the product has changed. That does open the possibility of us missing a few things as we have content spanning from 2012 to today. If there is something you refer back to regularly and would like to make sure it gets brought over I would suggest adding a comment to it if you have it bookmarked and you don't see anything on it since before February 2017 just to be safe.
