A while back I bought a router from another member here. There is no problem with it, but one of my other routers failed and I am wondering whether it happens to be the same model - they look very similar. Unfortunately the ID plate on the router is worn off where the model # would be, so I decided to search for the thread in which it was listed. I couldn't find it, and in fact it seemed I couldn't find *any* threads older than, say, 6 months , at least in the Classifieds.

Are threads purged in that forum, and if so - why ?
