Is it possible to see search results for posts/threads past 100?
By the same token, are derelict threads deleted after a certain number of days?

Simply adjust the start date back to avoid looking at recent threads.

There are no purges anymore.

Google can provide startlingly accurate forum searches, often better than the actual search here.

"Anymore"?

I think Hack's talking about the old forums, pre-Jolt. As they were on a crumbling server, they required regular purges to keep going. That's why there's an archive forum, it was begun so that some threads would survive purging.
