I like it, except that it's too long.

Maybe "top", since it's the top posts from that date?

I think "more" is a confusing choice because you already have a "More" link at the bottom of the page that goes to the next page.

"Afore" would be nice, but it's too esoteric. How about "Ahead" ? Synonym of previously, as well as goes with the idea, like "Go ahead and read another story"

That, or: "ere". Length equal to "new" :)

What about "previous"? Same length as "comments".

What about “Prev”?

What about just 'recent'?

But what if you go back 5 years?

Some other alternatives:

- By Date

- Date

- Rewind

- History (confusing?)

- Archive

- Old (new | old)

i think -Recap should be on that list, since it really is a recap of what's happening.
