The Music Man message board used to have the usual numbered links to prior postings like all the other movies on IMDB,in the lower right hand corner.For several weeks now they have dissappeared.Many interesting facts and discussions were on these boards which now can't be accessed.Does anybody know how to restore them or how to get in touch with someone at IMDB who can?There were many prior pages-now lost.Thanks for any help in this regard.

Our boards are not designed to store messages indefinitely: after a certain amount of time older threads are removed from the board automatically. This process is called "expiry".
The rate of expiry is adjusted dynamically according to the posting traffic for each board. Threads are removed sooner from a board that attracts a lot of posts than they would be from a board with less activity.
Please keep in mind that the boards system is not meant to be an archival medium, and all posts are subject to expire and disappear sooner or later. This is intended to allow us to manage the resources consumed by each board effectively, and also to promote the ever changing flow of discussion.
