what happens to old posts?
 

I was curious as to what happens when post work there way down the forum and disappear?

they go to the next page ?
no posts on this fourm are deleted ..
if you go to the fourms you will see that there are numerous pages ...

And if any posts are deleted, they are under extreme circumstances, like spammers, too many double posts/cross posts, etc.

As you can see, we still have the very first post ever: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hp?s=&postid=2

cool.
