In reply to Dr. Bob - how did this bd archive so fast, sudden?, posted by Janelle on April 21, 2002, at 5:30:34
> It was my understanding that once a current board reaches a certain size (I think it's 125K?) the oldest posts then float into the most recent archive
No, posts are archived as soon as they're posted:

> So how come this board seems to have done a complete turnover and is now much smaller than it was just a few days ago?
When a new archive is started, the current list includes posts from the previous archive:
http://www.dr-bob.org/babble/admin/20020308/msgs/3784.html
But the overlap is posts from the previous couple days. Which is a lot more posts at PB than here.
