Does it show old results yet? Or is that a database searching issue. And I assume the same reason that users who left and had “all their posts deleted” actually only had a couple of years of posts deleted and everything older is still there .

…not to call you guys out or anything

What do you mean? I don't understand.

You can find old results per username by sorting in ascending order on the advanced search.

There are users who wanted all of their old posts deleted... it looks like someone tried to do so and changed the usernames to generic names, but the deleted posts actually only go back as far as the search function goes, most of the posts are still there (under the generic names)...

I'll admit that my reason for asking is because I have AT TIMES mused over asking to be "forgotten" - but from a little digging this seems not to be possible.

This discussion I had about a game with "Tom" begs to differ . Unless the later post deletions are manual? All posts that go back as far as the search function are deleted, older posts remain.
