[Ok, so here is the thread I started](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/no-longer-able-to-access-old-threads/913030/11).

[Here’s a 4 month old thread of mine that appears to still work](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/lancias-triply-bad-week-and-the-faintest-glint-of-a-silver-lining/848356/13). Thankfully, as that thread means a lot to me.

[Here’s a thread of mine from 2011 that’s still live.](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-was-your-longest-commute-time-distance/594623)

[My first ever Dope thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-to-do-about-a-bad-boss/389776), which I did during the pay-to-post era. Still live, unfortunately. That thread is actually pretty embarrassing now.

[Here’s a thread about driving to Alaska from 2012 that is live](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/alaska-how-far-north-can-i-drive/621895). [Here is one form 2006 that is not.](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive/index.php/t-378831.html)

So I guess this boils down to: I don’t know why some are working and some are not.
