7. You never lose access. You can search for them, though to find all you have to use Advanced Search

and set it for All Posts and set the forum(s) and time range you want to search.

And you'll get no more than 250 results at a time.

So if you've posted a lot, you'll end up doing a LOT of searches, constantly changing the time range, to find all your old posts.

It'll take fewer searches if you're looking for a particular keyword or name in a thread title and search only for that one word...and with DU's advanced search, only one keyword is allowed for each search.
