How long do archived messages last?

[NeoPTLD]

I tried searching for archived posts of someone whom I traded with a few years back, but his name doesn't turn up and I can't find his name on heatware either anymore.

How long does AnandTech retain archived posts?

you can always look at archive.org, they got stuff from back in 2000

looks like they last about 6 months, then go into the archives. I can find archived messages dating back to 2000
