I figure this question has been answered before, but I couldn’t find it. Sorry to bother y’all w/ it.

I notice the threads from the first of this year are not posted. I know there was a board reconstruction and a temporary board was used for a while. But, what happened to the threads? I saw a message that they would not be reposted. What’s up?

Did “THEY” do away with them for reasons of National Security, maybe the terrorists destroyed them.

No really, what’s the deal? 😕
