2x my post was deleted, not found on looking later at the thread

I found a thread which I was sure I commented on only to find out my comment was not there. Once again it happened in this thread http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=879923

Where I reposted the essentials.

Any explanation would be appreciated.

We did have a major outage today and it’s entirely possible that some or all posts within that time when the board began to shi–I mean when things began to go wrong – it’s entirely possible some posts were lost when the system failed.

We apologize, it’s a rare thing but occasionally it does happen.

Ah, sort of like the Winter of Our Missed Content, but more like a Day of Misplaced Content.

Hey, I lost my latest bad, bad, bad thread. It was a doozie. I thought I broke the Dope, it’s so great:)

(Yes, I really know its not all about me!)

If I recall there was once a thread started by Qadgop the Mercotan entitled “Gollum is my patient” but we lost that one…* >sniff<*. I miss that thread.

We have lost some good threads over the years. Darn hamsters! Keep passing out on the job!

Yes, my first thought was that The Great Hamster Insurrection was finally upon us.

I still suspect squid involvement.
