I can only see the French and German forum topics from May 2015 onwards. And June 2015 for Russian ones. Is it just me? Any idea where the older topics are?

secretly archived to benefit... GOGbears?

I don't think they existed before that. Non-English language forums are relatively a new thing.

OK, funnily enough the old ones still show up in searches.

http://www.gog.com/forum/general_fr?search=bienvenue
(note some 2014 topics)

And they're not closed or anything. You can reply to them.

I wonder if this is a glitch or something intended.

Personally, I think this is a much better idea than shoving them all in an archival forum as was done with English. Links do not break, people can still find the threads when searching in the usual place, and even still reply just in case there's a reason to do so -- all the while making them a bit harder to dig up and necro as they're not immediately visible (favourite threads still seem to show up, even if old and hidden, so that's not affected either, though I cannot confirm if that's true to threads made favourite earlier as I just now made a favourite from 2014 and it shows up fine and it's hidden again when I unfavourite it).

All this is very true if GOG had a proper search function (including searching by user name). Otherwise it might be difficult to find some old threads.

Hopefully they're working on improving the search then. But even with the current state of search, at least existing links are not broken.
