I notice that the number of pages has decreased from 24 to 5 in the past few days. is there any way of accessing previous threads after they disappear?

In a word,
no.
Sorry. I got email notification of reply - between Thursday evening and Monday morning. I clicked the link - no thread. There's no way to view them. It's called PRUNING.
Yep, sadly I don't have the time to back catalogue the threads so they just disappear! I usually prune when the number of threads get around the 20 mark.
How come they still apear in search engines?
Google often comes up with previous posts, even ones by me...

Good point Rob- that's exactly why I asked as I did a search and came up with a blank screen. It's such a pity just to lose all this valuable and exciting information!

I linked from reply notifications - blank screen. Nothing anyone (except Asa) can do, I'm afraid! Asa, what about an Archives forum which only you can post in - move old threads to it, and everyone's happy!

Archives forum same as back catalogue?
Surley this is time and webspace consuming?
(not that I'm against it..)

The webspace is infinite - and it belongs to Ikonboard, not TV Home.
I think that Ikonboard has to be hosted on your own webspace (in fact I know this cos I've done it) so it's limited by that.
As for the question....if you do a search on Google it sometimes comes up with results. If you click on the main link it won't work - but try clicking on 'Cached'....
