I ask because I've belatedly realised that there appear to be only 3 or 4 available-to-peruse Asian Cinema Board pages at any one time; and those would be the ones with the most recently responded to threads at that. And am assuming that this is the case too with regards to the other Mobius boards.

The boards default to displaying threads active within the past 30 days. You can adjust this from the bottom of each board's main page. For instance, without adjustment, the main Asian page reads "Displaying 25 of 63 topics sorted by last post date in descending order from the last 30 days." You can adjust the way they're sorted, in what order they're displayed, and the time period covered using pull-down menu boxes. Pick "the beginning" on the last pull-down tab, and you can see posts dating back to October 2004 (which I'm assuming are the still-archived threads -- don't know how many if any were deleted for space's sake).

Aleck, thank you for responding to my query. And phew and coolness re the posts and threads -- including those I was specifically looking for -- turning out to *not* have been deleted after all! :)
