The Incredible Shrinking Thread

[Shodan]

I was trying to access this thread, apparently moved from GD.

When I access it, I get a notification that I do not have authorization to access this page. I did a thread title search and did not find it.

Where did it go?

My apologies if I tried something naughty, or if this is a Question That Should Not Be Asked. I seem to be posting OK, so perhaps not a problem with my account.

I thought it might be funny. My understanding was that it was a link to a video.

Regards,
Shodan

I get the same thing when I click your link. Most likely the thread was deleted because it was either spam or started by a sock.

It was probably moved to one of the hidden restricted forums for reasons that are private to the mods/admsin

Shodan, you’ve been around long enough so I think you might have gotten around to reading the FAQ by now.

How do I find out what happened to a missing thread or poster?

If you have a question about a thread or poster who “disappeared,” please DO NOT post an inquiry. In probably 95% of such cases, the thread (or poster) that vanished was an attention-seeker – a spammer , sock, or troll. They’re out for any attention, even negative attention, and we don’t want to give it to them. They disappear, as do their posts. And as do posts about them.

So, if you have a question about such, please email a moderator. DO NOT post your question. DO NOT give these folks any publicity, acknowledgement, or recognition.

I’m closing this.
