Feature Race Articles Missing

Post by Brian Leavitt »

I noticed today that articles posted between 6 months ago and 3 years ago to the Feature Race have all disappeared from the archives

They are automatically deleted after a certain amount of time. Which devastated me after my Triple Crown articles disappeared.

I see the point, the race previews and reviews have little use a couple of years later but some of the other catergories that is lost is gold

I think it's at the nine-month mark that articles time out. The Steward used to tweak something that would cause some (such as Hall of Fame articles) to not time out, but I think she's had someone else managing articles for quite a while now and so they no longer are prevented from timing out.

If you're looking for one of mine, send me a pm and I'll send you a copy, since I've been keeping copies for quite a few years now. Usually, for ones that might come under the heading of "instructional", I eventually re-submit them, after reviewing and editing for any updates to the SIM that might effect the information given.

Also, I strongly recommend that anyone who ever thinks they want to breed SIM horses save a copy of Cleo's excellent article on breeding, lest it disappear from timing out.

Oh that explains what happened to mine! TBH I got a bit disheartened when I went to write a follow-up and couldn't find the old ones, but at least I know now.
