I tried to open the thread [College Feud: 101](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=464572) in the Game Room and received the following error message:

Anyone else having this type of problem?

It means that the thread has been deleted for some reason. If you want to know why, e-mail a mod.

I suppose that makes sense. As for why someone would delete one of the six thousand and eight Family Feud threads and not the other six thousand and seven, well… I suppose the mods work in mysterious ways. 🙂

The OP has been banned, presumably a sock.
