Do Comments Expire?

I was just going through some of the archives in my Blog, and noticed that some of the old comments have disappears. I wonder if this is a "glitch" with Haloscan, or if they have some sort of automatic expiration date system. That would really be too bad. I enjoy going back, reading through my Blog, and also reading comments from all of you wonderful people. Anyone know?

Update

Okay, just found this in the Haloscan FAQ:

Q: I have a non-upgraded account and some of my really old posts disappeared.

A: All comments over four months old are archived for non-premium members. These comments are simply moved to a different database and are not deleted. This is done to keep the performance of the site at an acceptable level. This restriction does not apply to premium (upgraded) members.


The "donation" to upgrade is $12/year. Not bad, and it is a nice service. I'll have to consider it...
