Thanks for your reply, even though it isn't what I wanted to hear.
You should know that not too long ago, the archive of this group
contained a lot more messages than today, dating back to 2000, so
something must have changed fairly recently. This archive used to
keep messages for about 1,5 to 2 years back.

The FAQs are not in any way reflecting the amount of information
in an archive. I would guess only a few percent of all issues
are covered.

DejaNews' archive doesn't extend longer than the forum archive.

I think this situation is a pity. Disk space shouldn't need to be
a consideration, and an "older" archive could be kept on another
server to not affect the performance of the forums.

This is just my own point of view, I'm not really trying to
start a discussion. Please forward my concerns to the people
making decisions about the forums. I will have to drop support
for the Adobe forums if I ever realize my "meta" archive...
