Mac Forum
I was wondering why the mac forum is always trimmed down to a couple of posts.

I know it's probably not the most popular of forums here but messages are never kept. Some other forums have messages going back a few years. What gives?

I think it is a forum option that only show posts / active threads within the past 30 days.

Since it is most likely quiet in there, then the posts will be trimmed from the main board.
They of course still exist....

Thanks for the response Jabba.

Where do the old posts still exist--how can they be accessed?

As Jamie said above, I think it has to do with your forum settings in the user cp. If I head into the Mac forum, I can see all threads, all the way back to the first one on 26th October 2004.

I get it. All sorted now. My mistake.
Thanks guys.

Out of curiosity--when did devshed start out.
I tracked it as far back as 2001 with the wayback machine:

Glad you got it sorted out.

I'm sure it started back in 1999. Earliest thread I can find was created on 7th April 1999 and is basically just a test message.
