Buckslayer Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 How long will posts be saved? I'm just wondering whether I'll lose my journal from 3 years ago anytime soon? Admins, Mods, anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slughunter Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Posts back-up\'d how long? I think that they are saved for 6 months and then are gone. so anything older than that is most likely gone unless if mods can bring them back up. Im pretty sure that is what it is but am not possative on it. -shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Posts back-up\'d how long? Posts are saved back to the most recent server or platform change. I guess that's how to explain it. For instance, this is the oldest ost available in the lounge. It's form March '02. Here is your jounal from '03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Posts back-up\'d how long? They are saved forever, unless something happens to our server. You may only be able to use the search feature back for 6 months, but If you go to the room you want, and scroll down to the bottom...you can click on "SHOW - From All Dates" and it goes back to the start of the forums.

Buckslayer Posted August 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Re: Posts back-up\'d how long? I've always kept my journals toggled in my favorite topics so I wouldn't have to search for them in the future. Buckee that answers my ? . Basically just in case the server goes down I better copy them to Word or something and save them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my posts and everything related to my user name got lost during some kind of glitch with the server a couple years ago. While Scott got me fixed back up, my posts prior to the glitch were never recovered. Pretty sure you can go back all the way to when they changed the forums from an older system to a new system back in think it was 2002. All the posts before on that old system I think were also lost with the changes that were made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think all the old stuff there was eventually lost or dumped in the switch over because it was a different format. Maybe Clay(iminrut) or Jeramie or some of the other older members in here might remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
