Was there a site purge?

I did find a post from 2024, but in a thread started in 2012, so maybe not all my posts are gone, from 2024 and early 2025, but only posts from threads started in that period?
(Which would be most)

I can find your posts in the "...dumped some meme" thread going way back to Jan 8
The posts are there but are unsearchable between Dec 17 2021 and Apr 8 2025. Unless you find the thread you posted in you'll have to wait for the data base to be fixed, which may or not happen.

Have you worked backwards in any of the forums with threads you posted in? You could pick a forum and scan the thread titles and work backwards to look for a recognizable thread. The threads are there.

Google might find them, too, with your user name.
When I had an old IBM PC, I didn't look for info on their site, although everything you ever wanted to know was on it. It was also massive, so I let Google search the site for me LOL

I mean, this sounds like what I was describing.

I did this in backstage because it's for offtopic/non-guitar specific stuff. If there was a better place to ask, let me know.

I bought a '50s LPC that turned out to be a very well-done fake. I'm trying to find a thread about that very guitar that was posted between 2020 and 2023. Thankfully, the dealer refunded me, but I'd like very much to help them find the thread about the previous owner of my my ex-guitar.

EDIT: I found the post and the thread. It was from 2015, so if the above is accurate, it wouldn't have applied. I just need to change some of my search components.

Take care and be well.
