I could swear I posted in a thread earlier today, but I can’t find it anywhere now.
The title was “AMA …” and I can’t recall the rest but it was some guy saying we could ask him anything about using some dating website.
I think it was in IMHO or MPSIMS. Did I hallucinate this or was this thread deleted?

There was a thread in (I think) the Pit that was something similar. I went to report it, and it vanished while I was trying. New poster.

It was clearly spam.

Threads vanish for various reasons. Typically we ask folks to PM a mod in those cases.
