    Hi,

    Giganews website screamed in big red print "240 days retention" which they did reach, but during Sept2008-Jan2009 they fell far short, as little as 190 days, and despite all the complaints of false advertising, they never corrected the posted retention they were promising. That is, until their retention eventually grew to 241 days, and ever since that day their actual retention has been correct and updated daily. (funny how honesty only works one way!)

    756days now, tested on a 750 day post and got it successfully without pars.

    Part of the header is [RSA GBA SCENE 1101-1200]-[#Real-Team@efnet]-[ROMz]- if you want to test your retention.

    With the truth, obviously. Change "240" to "120" which, when their servers finished dumping data, was about the point where the "99% Complete" claim was accurate.

    And if correcting 3 characters on a webpage is too difficult they have no business taking anyone's money.
