How to access old 4chan content ?

    Hi,

    Does anyone know if it is possible to access old content on 4chan ? I find that all the boards have links at the bottom to pages 1->10 but I cannot see any way of accessing any older threads. Am I missing something ? Most forum-type websites would let you step back through all archived threads. Or is 4chan just intended to be a 'rolling window' of 10 pages of the most recent contributions with anything older effectively being lost to the casual surfer ?

    Thanks,

    Usjes,

    Use the "site:4chan.org" comand to find what your looking for, there are many variations you could use so I would suggest to go here to find out more http://moz.com/blog/25-killer-combos-for-googles-site-operator to give you a better idea.

    Part of the purpose of 4chan is that when new content is posted the content with the oldest most recent contribution gets deleted. I don't know anything about it but there may he sites that archive 4chan content.

    Didn't know it was deleted you could try archive.org but I would say that's a long shot.

    I don't know if it is necessarily deleted but it becomes no longer public.
