Hello! I tried hn-profile [1] to download my saved HN stories (i.e., "saved stories" under my profile). I was thrilled to have finally found such a tool, but disappointed to see only stories less than 100 days old (<102, to be precise). Is this a well-known fact? Is this information indeed lost/purged?<p>Thanks!<p>[1] https://github.com/bsandrow/hn-profile
I can readily look up HN stories older than that. You are just using the wrong tool. With site-restricted Google search, or with search by user and keyword through HN Search, you can find such gems as<p><a href="http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171" rel="nofollow">http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=117171</a><p>from 1379 days ago with pg's opinion about using downvoting to express disagreement with comments.
