Possibly due to the space it would take up to archive and index the entire site's history
and the relatively infrequent requests to access much further back than 25 or so posts.

And, of course, the cost of doing so. You can bet the host wouldn't do it for nothing.

Only a guess...

Yet at other Forums, I (mere member) can hit a button and find thousands of posts made over very many years?

This is the function i want.

To go for example over a members posts going to every post they made.

Searching will be difficult.

If i typed in the search button for "cars", i may get 100 pages which arent relevant
