    It depends how long ago you posted them, I think there's around a 5 day limit (plus or minus a couple of days).

    nope
    you could PM the mod of that forum and perhaps, if s/he has time, they might help you out.

    Though personally I'd only be likely to bother if there was a particularly good reason.

    Posts stay forever. The reason behind the time limit is so say userx cant come along after starting many threads and posts over a period of time and then just say "Screw you" and delete the posts thus ruining alot of threads.
