Very long time evga poster here, I was trying to find a photo I posted in a thread long ago when space shuttle discovery had visited la to show a friend but I can't find a way to see very old posts? Did the forums get wiped clean of any posts older than a certain day? Im on mobile if it helps.

I just looked up a couple old threads of mine from back in 2013/14, and they're still there.

The very old forums were indeed deleted.
The only solution I might have for you is to find the internet 'wayback' website which might have the info, but I think the archive only dates back to 2013 and not every post is archived.

A lot of posts were migrated to the new forums, but not everything.

I'm sure you're more "in the know" on this subject than I am RJ, but I did find a couple more about the Discovery from 2011. https://forums.evga.com/Space-Shuttle-Cockpit-m1135359.aspx

there are posts back to 2009, not sure if there are older ones in the General section
just make sure your search sets the - Time Filter - from the "default of 30 days" to "from the beginning: @ bottom of the page

I made some posts about the shuttle much earlier than that, but I was unable to find them.

The forums have gone through a few different iterations. I believe this is at least the third iteration of the forums we've had since I started here. For a long while we had an archived static version of the old forums that stuck around for awhile, but was finally removed to clean up things. That was way over a decade ago though.

It's probably best to have some old stuff removed in general since fixes from over 10 years ago might no longer be the best fix any longer. While the shuttle won't really ever change most of the posts are hardware/software related and that can change a lot even from one windows patch to another.
