What happened to Crimson Lancer's thread?

Post by Draco_Argentum »

As topic. That thread is the only one I can remember getting deleted without explanation. Normally things are just locked and I rather like that. So, what actually happened that was bad enough for a nuke?

I remember a MPSIMS attempt to covertly restart the laugh/cry threads which seemed to have gotten a similar fate but I'd say it's the only other one I know of too

Perhaps Lancer deleted his first post? I'm not sure if that nukes a thread, but it might.

What did you do that might have caused that? More importantly, how can we never do it again?

Huh, it is, in fact, gone. That's sort of rough for those of us who actually hoped to use that game someday.

I actually have no idea how or why that post vanished.

Using the power of the "back" button, I was able to call it back up and attempt to post on it. The thing that came up was:
Sorry, but only moderators can reply to posts in this forum.
So it seems to still exist, but be inaccessible, and with no explanation.

phpbb has a notable error of showing that message to posts that don't exist in the mysql database.

It could be there, or it might be gone.

Who won the argument? Did it?

And I'm pretty sure it's just a server issue. Because yeah, usually individual posts are deleted and occasionally a thread gets locked for a bit and people are told to cut it out. And that thread has already caused an immense problem in the past, from a technical stand-point.

If I'm thinking of the same one.

I hope the aWoD thread comes back soon -- I was actually using that! Server weirdness sucks.

edit: Nevermind I'm dumb, looks like some enterprising users copied over the old thread.

See, if we didn't know our mods, things like this would lead to suspicion (and probably rightly so) of mods dinking with threads they don't like, if it was their policy to delete them outright without explanation.

I hate places like that.

Love for fbmf.

yes, love for our mods and this place.

It's so much nicer when the mods are friendly.
