How long are replays kept?

On a tangent, would it be possible to search for all games a player has played wothout posting them to OSN...? I'm guessing not, unless OSN had a file of all games played, which CodePenguin doesn't. Either way, thanks

OSN has recently (a few months ago) started acquiring all games. That is, every Outwitters game is now automatically uploaded to OSN.

But yeah, games not submitted to OSN prior to that happening are basically lost to the ages.

You could start guessing replay links...

Yeah, that's why I used the word "basically."

CodePenguin, if you need a full time employee for typing random sequences, consider this an application.

An infinite monkeys typing on an infinite typewriters will eventually find all the replays that exist.

[TheGreatErenan]

Nah, the OSN server couldn't handle the traffic.

[Chemoeum]

They couldn't afford infinite monkeys or infinite typewriters. And considering population and supply, we're far from infinite.

Technically yes. But it's not an easy thing to do robustly. Would have to get around some limitations of the datastore and that was wrought with issues last time I tried anything like that (granted, was a couple years ago). Don't count on it, since there's about a million things on my to-do for the Outwitters server that are of higher priority.
