Deleted conversations?

I don't think so, ask @Todd

 

Might have been deleted for being duplicate, off topic, inappropriate, etc. Could even have been renamed or merged.

Have you looked through your content? Might find it that way.

 

Figured they had to go sometime, but hadn't expected it was that short.

 

2 YEARS is short? If y'all ain't had nuthin' new to say to each other in that time frame, just start a new convo with the new intel.

 

It's just forums, but on forum sites where the volume doesn't preclude it, it can be beneficial to keep the history. Then again, perhaps I'm thinking technology forums, not sure how this would apply here where it is largely opinion and casual banter. Not sure how much is appropriate - but they're saying two years, so that's the answer.

 

There's a cost to everything, of course, at some level. I'm sure no one cleans up conversations on their own, and the sites you speak of are "public" and have value beyond the considerably more limited private messages. Though maybe there's a sales opportunity here, Supporters could get 5 years of conversation holding.

I'm guessing to keep the conversation from being deleted you can randomly ping your conversant with "bump" or "how's it going?" Or save off useful information on your own, if it's something important enough.

 

We are talking about beer which is probably one of the least important or interesting things one can do with beer. I can't imagine anything that is important enough to save for over 2 years on a public forum on any topic. If you want your words to be permanent, carve them on a marble slab or endow the brothers with .enough $$$$ to buy enough space to store all or our inane musings.

 

Quick! Everyone go bump all the 23 month old threads
