Went looking for the "why is wine so expensive" thread and couldn't find it. Googled it and found the reference through (Google cache) with the last post on Oct 13. The entire thread seems to've disappeared...
Why?

You are right... This is becoming annoying, shall we call Postbusters?

It would seem that the servers are suffering at the moment & bits are being culled (pun intended). The games have gone as well

Don't know what is happening. We have had several instances of disappearing threads. They were certainly not purposely deleted.

Speed is good, actually faster than I have experienced before.
It is so fast that there is a little bell that keeps going 'ding...ding...ding..etc'

Search on "wine so expensive" using the Google Singapore Expats search from the forum. One hit. Click on the cached results link. There ya go.
(later edit)
Oh, okay, okay, here's the full link:

I don't have any logs for this deletion.
But I will be logging every moderation from today onwards.
Please report to me when you guys found another missing thread from TODAY. I need the FULL URL to see who deleted it.

Pal, seeing our poster is posting from a Hanoi ISP, and just joined, I think I wouldn't worry too much about it. Testing the waters here methinks.
