life span of a post?..........(question for mods)

with the passing of JJ, i was curious about who he was when he started posting 74,648 posts ago, thats when i noticed that his earliest post only goes back to december 2010.

was curious what the cut off is for old posts, is it a set date or is it topical or something else?

do some threads get archived to become permanent? perhaps JJ's contributions collectively could have such honor?

thanks, for a great forum.

I was thinking the same thing perhaps like a "j.j. memorial" thread that is left intact?

I'd say he accomplished his goal.
RIP pal, you'll be missed.

thanks for sharing the above thread

so it looks like this was his first post on TRF but reading further along, he clearly was already highly regarded in the watch world
