LJ archiving entries?

[sarea]

Okay, I might just be totally late to the party on this one, but I was pretty much off LJ for about 2 years ... do they archive/take down entries after a certain length of time?

I went looking for some older entries I had made on some Angel episodes that I was sure I'd written about, but I couldn't find them. Then I checked the archives for how far they went back to see if I could find them manually, and discovered that my very first post, whenever it was, is now gone. Was there some kind of hiccup at some point that deleted journal entries (particularly older ones), or do they just delete older entries as a matter of course?

I'm kind of sad because if I'd known I might have taken some precautions to archive some of that stuff locally. Now it is gone forever. :(

If they were private I still should have been able to see them, since I'm always signed in. However, someone else figured it out for me ... I am so lame. I had another journal way back when I first started LJing, and it blended together in my mind, so the first entry for this journal is not my first entry ever, which was what I thought had been deleted. Sigh.
