A day or two ago, I started what I thought was a relatively innocuous thread on survival literature in We Speak Volumes. It seems to have disappeared, or I'm a heck of a lot more tired than I thought I was. Anyone know why? Did a mob of Donner Party survivors appear without warning and eat it?

Mods, where did that thread go?  T_F has a legitimate question.

About a year ago an innocuous thread I'd started disappeared overnight, without warning.  The Mods claimed (somewhere in this forum and via PM) that they had no idea what had happened, other than that yup, it was gone.

Of course, all my threads are innocuous.  But this one really was a lamb.  And then...it wasn't, anymore.

Considering that there are still six-year-old posts around (at least), I'm surprised that the database hasn't keeled over and died.

It's actually tenured_feminist's thread that has disappeared, as the OP in this thread indicates.

For the record, that's what you said last time (grumble, grumble, grumble).

That's interesting, because I posted to that thread and I wondered why it had died (I didn't realize it had totally disappeared). It doesn't appear under "Show the last posts of this person" under my profile, so it's definitely gone.
