Bryan,

How long do someone's posts stick around who hasn't posted here in a long time?

For example, a person who goes by the user name GoGo has a birthday today. I remember them posting, but not what they posted, so I did a search. None of their 3 posts will come up in the search. In fact, when I do a search on the user name, it won't come up, but if you look through the list of members to the board, they're there, as is their profile (which is how I know how many posts they have). No posts, though.

Why'd this happen? Did this person delete their posts, or was everything but the user name wiped from the boards by you? Or did the board simply wipe them all out since this person hasn't posted since January of '02?

Just curious.

I will go through once in awhile and delete old posts and did just that about 3 weeks ago. Since simply deleting posts does not mess with someone's post total, it still shows up in their user profile even though the posts are gone. The posts I deleted were well over a year old so there's a good chance they got pruned.

Cool. Appreciate it. Figured that might be the case.
