Old bungie.net forum posts still available in bungie.net forum - but how to work it?

So, it seems that some really really old forum posts are still accessible through bungie.net's current forum system, despite the old forums being deleted from halo.bungie.net. For example: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/2[/url] Or: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/219032[/url] Or: [url]https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/3184682[/url] What I don't actually understand is how the id system for the posts works. Mostly, it seems to work on timestamps and in sequence, but some posts minutes apart have different reference id's, like you can see from clicking one of the linked threads and checking a reply's id from the it's top right corner link button. This is all to find a very old historical post, that's visible only through the Wayback Machine nowadays: [url]https://web.archive.org/web/20110705190525/http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=37562464[/url] If it would be possible, I'd love to find that post and see it in a more easy-to-handle form, as it seems it could be possible. After going back and forth by the timestamp (10/1/2009 9:23 AM PST) I got [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forums/Post/1822112?sort=0&page=0]this blocked post[/url], that sits between two posts from very closeby timestamp. Maybe I'm totally missing something in how the indexing works? Or maybe only posts from some forums are preserved (though it doesn't seem likely after shuffling through dozens of posts)? Could you help me figure out how this works, if at all, for history's sake?

    Hello. I do believe that old posts get deleted after a very long time, but some still being accessible due to them being trending on Google, but I could be wrong. And that is dedication that you brought up a post from 2004 which baffled me.
