FAO: Raptor or Terk - Missing Threads
Hey guys, do you know what had happened to the Off Topic and Mods Help threads? They seem to have vanished. A similar occurence has happened in the LLM Forum I believe.
Cheers, Spav.

In fact a quick look and I'd guess there's a bunch of missing threads - seems to be mainly larger ones, but I can't be definite on that

...for instance I'm pretty sure there's a couple of Faramir's longer epics missing too

Don't want to jump to conclusions yet, and I pray there are backups available, but it looks like something's gone wrong with a cleanup job on OTF...

It would look like everything closed and marked for archiving is gone.
That, by definition, includes all big finished/inactive/on ice stories, because all cr@p from yesteryear was deleted already.
Anything that's won an award last year and was still on the forum appears to have vanished.

<keeps fingers crossed for the backups>
Cheers Rap, here's hoping that someone had the foresight to take precautions before wiping anything older than about 3 months

I've sorted the bolding of Melbourne Victory in 'Down Under....' though Spav
Assume that's what you were looking for the Mod Request thread for.
Looks like bad things have happened with this cleanup in FMO and the skinning forum as well as here and LLM

It seems to have been a forum wide purge that was only meant to be in the Off Topic Forum, but we've lost quite a lot of stuff from other forums... AGAIN
