RE: MODS-What Happened???????

[ForestCreature]

 
What happened to the limeric thread, many of the limerics have disappeared. All the ones I did are gone along with a few others.    
 
 Whats up with that??

What???  The limericks are gone?  Do you people realize how long it took me think of something that actually rhymed?  Let s just say I m poetically challenged.  I want my limericks back!  Please?

[moderator1]

 ForestCreature
OK, first - sorry about the delay in answering, I wanted to get a response from all moderators.
 
 None of us deleted any posts in the limericks thread.  I must admit, I only read the first few then have not gone back to look.
 
 Please advise how many you think are missing and if anyone thinks replys are missing from any other thread.  If there is a problem here we need to figure our where it is.
 
 Thanks

moderator 1, I know that it was up to page 9, and sometime about 4 to 7 days ago suddenly there were only three pages of the limericks thread.

 ForestCreature
It appears the whole thread is gone today!!  Hmmmmmmmmm............
 
 No need to apologize, I m not sure of anything else disappearing. Guess I ll start paying attention!

[moderator1]

 ForestCreature
Nope, the thread still exists, but no posts after 1/23/03

When the board realized that FC was chaging to ResortCreature, it dropped a few limericks because it was soooooo sad.

Very interesting theory going here........I believe Jeffrey mentioned to me yesterday that he had deleted his Limeric............another hmmmmm.......

Tah Dah!
 
 UPDATE! My theory holds true!
 
 The reply that was sent directly to me went away when I deleted my post.
 
 For those of you trying to make sense of this later that 10:30 pm est on 2/7, try this:
 
 A theory--
 
 Depending upon how you reply to a thread, it is possible for your replies to actually be deleted by someone else. I saw this happen by accident when I deleted a post I made a week ago (on another thread, folks -- I did not take your limericks, I swear )
 
 Here s how it goes:
 
 Bob starts a thread, I hit the PostReply button at the bottom of the window.
 
 Mary replies to my post by using the tiny icon in the upper right hand side of the space where they are reading my post.
 
 This is where that (Direct reply to____) thing comes in as you read the threads
 
 Mary s reply is now part of my post as far as the thread is concerned.
 
 Later on, I decide what I said was pure drivel and is an embarassment to my entire family (It happens)
 
 I go back and delete my reply. But now it not only wipes out my post, but anyones who Direct replied to me (or those replies on down the line).
 
 MODS - does seem plausible to you?
 
 Or is this post pure drivel and I have to go iron my fingers again?

 P.S. Moderator1 does a !@#$load of this work.  Perhaps we can email him our appreciation.  " moderator1@popuptimes.com"

 ForestCreature
Well it seems the mystery is partly solved, Thank you for the work you guys do.
 
 So I guess it was JEFFREY [:@][/color]that did it after all !

[Jeffrey]

 ForestCreature
Well, I did delete my post, So that is probably what it was.
 
 All I can say is HA HA HA !!!!
 
 That will teach you all, Don t ever critize my Limerick abilities again!!
 
 

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!

 Honestly I had no idea it would do that, hopefully everyone will forgive me someday?
