Related: About this forumIs there a way to search the archives?
GD fills so quickly that the last page - 30 - is the end of December. Selecting the Archives sends me to Help & Search.
There used to be - DU3? - that a list of previous months was at the bottom of LBN.

That's good for finding all the threads started in every forum on DU on a particular day of the month specified.

(52,533 posts)4. You'll have to use Advanced Search - which you can use since you're a Star member - and include
a keyword and/or the author's name in your search. You'll need to specify the date range, and since GD is so active, searching for a commonly used name or keyword (or threads from a DUer who posts a lot in GD) will mean you'll often hit the limit of 24O results before the complete date range (even a range like a month) is searched, so you'll have to edit the search to see more results.
