What happend to my old posts??

[paris]

i was trying to search and look manually through the old posts to find the date when i first noticed i had arboreal eggs, all i can find is the final post of when they began to hatch, what happened to my old posts and the replies i got from others? do some threads here eventually get deleted? i sort of hoped posts here would be archived somewhere if i ever needed to look up data i may have fuzzy details on now....

No, the posts would not have been deleted unless you posted them in the adverts section.

hmmm, now that i think of it i think i did attach the announcement in that section and got replies via that -is that stuff lost for good -or would john or one of you be able to retrieve it? i got a request for data on breeding them -and i pointed out i didnt do anything they did it all, but i was wondering of the time since noticing the eggs till they hatched and if they had any signs of advanced growth when i found them?

Yes, as far as I know it is gone for good.

Nate is absolutely right. The advert section has a clear warning that old posts in there are deleted about every three months. Nothing else on the forums is ever deleted unless there's a specific reason for deleting that post or thread. We have messages back to day 1 of the site.

This may change in the near future given how unimaginably massive the forums are (many hundred megabytes, most of which are Tim's photos *G* - please don't stop though Tim!).

Can't say fairer than that.
