What Happens to Old Threads?

ingamba · 01-13-2006

I was doing a search for a thread that wasn't even that old, and I can't find it. Do threads just disappear after a certain amount of time? This can't be though, because there are older ones still out there.

The threads I searched for and couldn't find were all in Chit Chat. Could it be related to all the recent problems in CC?

Old threads are put out to pasture... You have to entice them back in with special treats like sugar cubes...

Really, though, any old thread should still be around. I'm not sure why you can't find it...

The search for chit chat threads can over look some.

You have to sometimes put in the exact title. Or even try the same search again. I have seen it get what I was looking for only after the third try.

Once I just started going page by page. Also if you know who started it try doing the search under their profile.

To search for chitchat threads, I think you have to use the "Search Forum" feature IN Chitchat.

I think the search excludes chitchat in the regular search.

Yeah that too

I think they are around, but I've found that the "serch" feature on DC is REALLY finicky. I usually have a hard time looking for a specific thread too.

When I look for old chit chat threads, I go page by page. You will find it.
Search seems to never work for chit chat, becuase non chitchatters would be able to see them then.

I wasn't going to tell you this, but feel compelled to tell you since you are so worried about lost threads. There is this huge monster in the hidden parts of DC who randomly eats threads....he is out of control...if you give him a cookie, he will stop eating them. that was random insanity by Dana.

Found him!

I was thinking that when the changes were made to Chit Chat the search function was disabled for that area.

On no Dana. I'd better PM Dopey and get her to make some cookies to satisfy this vicious beast. I don't want one more innocent thread to suffer at the hand of this predator.

Thanks for the random insanity Dana, it gave me a much needed laugh.
