A long thread, in which NoFM2R and I had made many posts, seems to have vanished. It's true that the thread contained some disagreeable posts from all parties. But I find it upsetting when stuff just vanishes and no one says a word. Reply to this message | Report message

Don't remember its title. I'm surprised you don't remember it happening though. Reply to this message | Report message

>> Don't remember its title. There were some heated exchanges in one of the "cycling corner" threads" recently that I removed (well hid, not removed) as it had nothing to do with cycling and just descended into a slanging match, but IIRC you weren't one of the perpetrators. No doubt I'll get blamed though. >> But I find it upsetting when stuff just vanishes and no one says a word. IIRC somewhere in the T's & C's of the forum (or maybe in house rules) we can remove "stuff" without notification, but generally out of politeness and courtesy we more often than not make comment. It would help though if you could remember what it is you think has been deleted, and from where. Last edited by: VxFan on Fri 26 Jun 15 at 14:08 Reply to this message | Report message

One of the comforting reliable factors about this forum is that you cock, up we blame you. Its a tradition. Reply to this message | Report message

We signed up to a commitment to blaming you before we were allowed to screw things up. Reply to this message | Report message

What was deleted from the cycling thread? Some sort of notification would at least assist the combatants in understanding which line they'd crossed and when. Reply to this message | Report message

>> at least assist the combatants in understanding which line they'd crossed Yeah. I cannot for the life of me think where Zero or I could have stepped over the line. Reply to this message | Report message

Sorry AC, I cannot find anything that is missing, if you see what I mean. Are you sure you've just not misplaced it or misremembered which thread it was in? Reply to this message | Report message

This sort of thing? www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?v=e&t=20034&m=442290 EDIT: although that's not you, but I think you were involved somewhere? Last edited by: Focusless on Fri 26 Jun 15 at 15:03 Reply to this message | Report message

>> Sorry - I was thinking of this one: >> www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?v=e&t=20008&m=443188 That's the one Focus. Oddly though it seems less disagreeable than I remember. One is often prey to guilt and anxiety when timewasting on the internet. Things seem to get very inflamed, then later you wonder what all the fuss was about. Reply to this message | Report message

>> That's the one Focus. Oddly though it seems less disagreeable than I remember. Some of the content got moved to Volume 25 (approx. 25 posts), and some of it (wot I mentioned earlier) got removed. i.e. that's probably why there is less content in vol.24 than you can last remember. >> That's Dave in the clear, then. Makes a change ;) Last edited by: VxFan on Fri 26 Jun 15 at 16:47 Reply to this message | Report message

>> Including, no doubt, some of the more disagreeable stuff It was 6 posts (I just checked). Mainly name calling, swear filter evasion, and willy waving, but nothing to do with cycling. Reply to this message | Report message

Could delete 35 of the cycling volumes and no one bar a handful of folk would notice. Last time I looked in it was about arguments over who to blame between cyclists and lorries - anything changed yet?? Reply to this message | Report message

>> Could delete 35 of the cycling volumes and no one bar a handful of folk >> would notice. Might be difficult seeing as there are only currently 25 volumes. Unless someone (other than me) has already deleted the other 10? Last edited by: VxFan on Sat 27 Jun 15 at 17:56 Reply to this message | Report message
