I posted this in GD but I guess it was the wrong place. I have, in my subscriptions, one post from 2008, one from 3/2009, and the rest from april till now. There is not 100. They seem to drop off after a month. I used to have a bunch of subscriptions. When I lost some I figured it was changes in the board but that was awhile back, now they seem to drop off. I tried to mess with my preferances but nothing really pertains to that.

Can I make my subscriptions last long like they used to? I have 63 topics in my subscriptions. There have actually been less, it depends on how much I posted in a month I think.

Threads that have been archived do not show in the subscriptions list.

Is your Subscription Default: Default When Posting set to one of the subscription options so that every thread you author or post in is automatically subscribed to or are your subscriptions done manually?

If you go to [ Click ยป To Open Options And Select Community Filters ] and select a single community i.e. Hometown you will see the maximum possible number of viewable results, but not necessarily all of your subscribed threads.  For example if I select the Hometown Community I will see about 250 results (12 pages of 20-21 threads each) dating back to 3-12-2009 if I delete a full page of them the oldest result is 3-14-2009

If you are in Classic View I will only see a maximum of 100 results, deleting from those shown will move older not shown threads up on the list.

The maximum number viewable may change by membership level, I don't know if they do or don't.

Maybe the threads are archived and that's why I don't see them. In the olden arfcom days they used to stay there practically forever, but sometimes the links did not work, suggesting the thread was archived I guess. Thanks for the explanation.

In a previous version of the board archived threads would stay on the subscriptions list, even though they were not accessible directly through subscriptions, a user could see the topic number and use that to search the archives though. Keeping archived threads on the subscriptions list did lead to subscriptions/MATs getting full and there were complaints.
