So, here's an interesting story from earlier today.
A few days ago, someone (I forget his username) started a thread discussing what NASA scientists had to say about global warming and its causes. There were about 3 pages of responses that both agreed and disagreed with his post. It was there early this AM, and then at about 7:30----poof---it vanished from cyberspace. Not closed, just gone completely, not even found with the search function.
I then started a thread asking how this could happen and if this has happened before. I did not suggest any possibilities (obvious or otherwise). Within 1 hour, that thread disappeared without a trace as well.
I then started another thread that simply suggested I might be having a very specific computer glitch. That was gone inside of 10 minutes.
So, what do we all think happened here? I'm going to suggest some hacker with the skills needed to remove threads from TOTV and who disagreed with the OP's thread broke into the TOTV server and removed it and 2 subsequent threads questioning its absence. Draw your own conclusions but be careful about what you suggest.
