Do threads / posts go away after a certain time?

As the title says, to posts / threads just go away (as in, not to the archives, which are searchable, but poof!) after a certain time?

I remember writing some stuff about 'Gnolls of Golarion' from the perspective of a Pathfinder arcanist who was attempting to retrieve an item stolen by a pack of the beasties (and his Andoran allies were trying to retrieve some of their countrymen, but he was less concerned with that), and search as I might, it seems to have vanished off of the forums.

Keywords like Lamashtu, Adept, matriarchal, Gnoll, Pathfinder, Andoran, etc. would have been relevant, but neither forums searches nor Google searches seem to be getting me any closer to the post...

I was interested in fleshing it out, detailing other Gnolls who have been kicked out of Lamashtu-worshipping tribes and turned to the 'carrion-god' Cabriri, but like a ninny, I seem to have neglected to save a copy for myself!

They never go totally away, they just get really, really hard to find. Sometimes the search here works against you and can't pull up a thread even though you enter the exact phrase.


But Set also mentioned Google search wasn't working.

They don't go away.

Did you mean this?

Nah, I also found that one, thanks for looking though!

It was a much longer piece (told from that Pathfinder's point of view, sort of like a journal entry, like bits on Alchemical formula), and it's possible that nobody replied to it. Being a thread, that, for all I can recall, may have been all of 1 post long, perhaps it didn't archive (or did archive, but doesn't 'search' well).

My own silly fault for not saving a copy for myself. I usually do that, and if it turns into something useful, post it on my website, but this was way back, probably before I'd even gotten Classic Monsters Revisited, and I didn't have Golarion stuff on my site yet.

No biggy. I can remember the gist of it. I was just being lazy and hoping to avoid re-writing it. :)
