Hey, I’ve been away for a couple days (just been really busy) and when I come back my thread got deleted. Did I do something wrong? Am I banned or something because I don’t know what I did.

Sorry. Must have been a board “hiccup.” It happens on occasion.

Looks like it got moved from the Pit to MPSIMS. That could be why you’re not finding it.

Yes, I moved it. Unfortunately redirects to new locations only last for a day or so. Sorry about that.

No, it was a software hiccup. I did a “find all posts” earlier, and the only post showing was the one here. Now, the earlier posts are showing again.
