About how long do old threads stay on the server?

[Wesley Foxx]

If you look back far enough, you can find threads dating back to when this was the Gangbunch forum. So, several years at least.

Note that, by default, most forums will only show threads a certain amout of time back. To see everything, find the box at the bottom of the screen titled Thread Display Options and select Show Thread From The... Begining from the combo box.

Theoretically, indefinitely. In practise, due to wonky migrations and server crashes, we've lost a bunch of stuff from the very early days. But that shouldn't be an ongoing issue.

Nominally, the stuff seems like it might actually still exist, it just sometimes didn't migrate right. I can't swear to that without looking a lot though.
