Hi Rose. when I go to the "home" page of this website I see an archive section but it only shows the last 50 threads in any given forum. Click on the tap at the top left of this screen that says ALSFORUMS.com to see what I mean. That takes you to the home page, and down at the bottom of that page is a link to "Archives."
If you are searching for anything from the early years, I have only had success by searching using specific key words. Not sure if this helps...Cindy
