John Kloehr Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Did not check the other sections, but SASS Wire posts go back to 2009 with over 1,700 screens of posts. Here is the oldest post: For the classifieds, there is an ongoing purge intended to remove any thread with no activity for a week. This is part of an effort to battle against scammers. Kind of like shutting the barn door after the horses get out, but trusting members still keep putting personal contact info into public posts. 1 Quote
Eliphalet R. Moderator Posted July 18 Posted July 18 We're still finding members who put their personal contact information in their profiles and signatures. Remnants of a more trusting time, when the site didn't generate as much traffic as now. 3 Quote

You must be referring to the Classified Forum. After a week of complete inactivity, posts are hidden, rather than deleted, so we can retrieve one for you, as you requested. Posts older than 2026 have been permanently deleted. Hopefully, this will cut down on scammers finding personal information contained in those. We are bringing the forum into compliance with the Classified Forum Guidelines, which are not new. SASS Wire Classifieds The SASS Wire Classified is for NON-COMMERCIAL POSTINGS ONLY. Offers on the Classifieds may only be posted by a SASS Member (you may not post for someone else), in good standing, and must include his/her SASS Number. Offers posted by Guests or Members not including their SASS Number will be deleted. All items posted for sale MUST include a price. This is not an auction/bidding site, and linking to off-site auctions is prohibited. "Make me an offer" with no posted base price is prohibited. You may not sell reloaded ammunition. Commercial Posts from merchants or dealers will be deleted, and repeat offenders will be banned from the SASS Wire. Auctions, raffles, and fundraisers are not allowed and will be removed immediately. SASS in no way endorses or guarantees any information posted on this page. Postings will automatically be deleted after one week. ***BE INFORMED*** It is mandatory that all firearms sales be done through the proper FFL channels. Other agencies read this Wire, and you are strongly advised to abide by the law. If you are not sure of the laws for firearm sales and transfers, learn before you buy or sell. 5 Quote

H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 I can usually find old posts that I made. I Google "HK Uriah SASS (topic)" and there is a good chance it will come up. Sometimes the results are more obvious than others, but it generally does work. Quote
