Andy-No-Knee Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 I'm trying to find a thread in the for sale section but it only goes back to 08, and the date I need is about 06 or 05. Any suggestions on where to look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on where to look? I suspect you'll need to ask a mod to either look in the archive you can't access or beg for a backup to be restored. Most for sale stuff gets pruned after a short while I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michael Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 Why can't *we* search in the archives? I may be wrong but I believe old posts are moved in there and out of sight of the search feature to cut down on the database size and increase search / forum response times... or something like that.

Branners Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 We dont even keep an archive section, we prune out specific sections to keep the database down to a reasonable size. For Sale is very much 'off the moment' and so something that was sold over 6 months ago is usually fair game for deletion, so of it goes. You may be able to find a cached version of it on google if you are lucky though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
