I am a notorious threadkiller myself. I ride a pale horse and e-hell follows with me.

This has happened to me also. The thread was not killed … but simply vanished completely.

This happened just the other day. I believe it was something about “games you’re looking forward to.” I commented, then looked for it a little bit later, possibly the next day, and it was nowhere to be found.

Paranormal events is gone too, in the past 48 hours. With the announcement that it’s my fault, and my permission to view that thread has been withdrawn as punishment, with nothing to allay thatself-loathing apprehension. Even my offending posts deleted from my own posting history.

This is the limerick about Einstein’s theory of relativity that was posted on the vanishing thread:
There was a young lady named Bright,
Whose speed was far faster than light;
She started one day
In a relative way,
And returned on the previous night.
A. H. Reginald Buller in Punch (Dec. 19, 1923): 591

I’ve posted to probably hundreds ,maybe thousands of threads that soon vanished. Even a single word post seemed to do it.

It’s diabolical!
I can only conclude that we are being toyed with as part of some cruel experiment.
But for what purpose?!?!

Your powers are greater than mine. When I post to threads, they don’t vanish. People just stop replying after me.

Damn. I’m impressed. I only have the power to get threads locked and moved to hidden forums. Tell us the secret.
