A couple months back, around early march, I strated up a thread somewhere (probably tech support) about trying to revive a dead hard drive of mine. Well, last night Windows crashed out of nowhere and after rebooting, 70gb of data on 2 drives was completly corrupted 🙁 In my old thread someone mentioned a program (not norton diskdoctor) that might be able to revive my data, so I went back to try to find that thread.

Problem is, I just can't find it. I searched for every thread I started in every forum in both "current messages" and "older then 45 days", but it's just not appearing. I was wondering if threads are ever deleted? I know it probably wasn't for lack of volume, because I got 15 or 16 responses or so.

Older threads are archived or deleted after awhile.
If it hasnt been posted in since early march then odd's are it's gone.
Sorry 🙁
 
offensive threads are locked and deleted.

there was a recent deletion of posts after 1 year old in the archive.
 
Not many threads are deleted before they are archived, though some are. I think it's after 1 year that archived threads are deleted or at least no longer accessible. Someone else mentioned losing a thread from March, perhaps something happened to some data from that time.
