As dead users no longer have any "recent activity", their comments are inaccessible unless you manage to hunt one down. How about a tab similar to forum posts, which shows only a users comments?

Anything older than a year is no longer recorded it seems. I remember I used to be able to go and look at my first comments on the site that were around 2 years old, and see forum posts of users who had no been active for years still show in their forum posts by user. James seems to have decided this information is not something worth displaying. A comments tab would likely do the exact same thing, cutting off at about a year, unless the whole system is changed, so it really wouldn't help you to have this new tab.
mona_jpn actually had a really great suggestion for this a while back:
If something like this were ever to be implemented, this is how it should be done.
@Jacob
I see your point, but it would still be nice to have.
Yeah, it makes sense to have a tab on them. We have tabs on all our site activities, so one for comments as well is only fair.
