What happened to this thread about subscription?

Here is the thread with the announcement. Starting April 21, the SDMB will require a subscription to post. There is a 30 day free trial, after which the fee will be $14.95/year. If you register before April 21, you get a discounted price of $4.95 for the first year, plus a guaranteed 50% discount off the going rate of each annual renewal. (more)

Out of curiosity I clicked to see how the subscription plan was originally presented. It seems that the thead does not exist anymore. Was it deleted for some reason?

I’m not sure what’s wrong with the link you cited, it appears to be a wrong URL embedded?

We are in the (slow) process of revising the stickies. There’s no longer a need to present things in future tense, for instance, that the Board “is switching” to paid.

I think the link must have worked at some time. Thread 245824 links to a thread timestamped 06:03 18/03/2004. Thread 245826 links to a thread timestamped 06:27 18/03/2004. The thread in between has vanished.
