I started a game a long time (years)ago and have recently decided I might want to add 1 more player.  How long do the old "Wanted - Players post" stay around and is there a way to find it other than going page by page back through the "Wanted - Players" section.  Should I just make a new post?

Bottom left corner of each page in the forum menu is a Search link.  Using that will turn up your post, unless it's been deleted (we do clear out old, unused posts every so often to keep the forums tidy).

Thanks, tried it and it said there is no thread.  I guess you deleted it, so I will need to make a new one.

Yep, afraid so.
