I bumped this thread TN to keep it from getting deleted.
In 6 more weeks this thread was going to disappear forever.
The threads roll off every 3 years unless you bump it.
Im trying to find my first post also but cant.
I forgot what I said in my first post.
I am not so sure about that. Uncorrupted threads from prior to September 2004 database upgrade are still accessible if we do search or go all the way to end of each forum's pages.
By the way, Chop, another reason why I don't think there's any time limit (just size limit) is when I noticed you bumped a 3 year 10 month thread, not 2 years 10 months.
Though, wait a minute, I see why you think that way. When I just went to the Offshore forum, the last page shows May 7th, 2003. 4 years ago!
Then again, it seems like that day was because the forum had an upgrade during that time where people complained about it
here.
Don't know if coincidence but I think ignoring May 7th, 2003, it was the beginning of the forum database's information that is still used today.
The September 2004 upgrade didn't lose old threads but messed up join dates & some threads, I'm guessing.
