I looked at the advanced search option and I can only find posts from 2008 until nowadays.

Is there an option to search for my posts from 2002-2007, or are they forever lost?
Thanks!

If you click on your name, then the number of messages, it displays all your posts in chronological order. They're grouped in 7-page bundles, so you need to click through 'show earlier posts' on the 7th page a few times to get to the earlier posts. It's inefficient, but they're there.

Uh ... a "few" times? I think a few hundred would be more like it, for anyone with a lot of posts.
 
Seeing how there's 210 posts per 7 pages, no more than 19 times in case of the OP and more than two hundred for the two most prolific posters only.

Hm ... guess I misjudged based on just doing a few sets of 7.
 
This could be due to max number of returned results. I have doubled the setting. See if you can find it now.
