Am I imagining things, or is the 'scariest movie you watched' thread gone?

Was looking for it and now cant seem to find it. :-|

And I KNOW it existed as I posted on it. I'm not delusional. So there. :P

Obviously not to you Vaucluse, since you only post rubbish! :P

Some of us nicer folks actually post helpful stuff, which when people search for are found missing. :D
I think we may require the services of Inspector Vaucloseau!


And the number of posts you have contributed indicates a grasp of the important, of course. :lol:

This thread is not about giant Emperor penguins parading down Shenton Way whilst whistling "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life" :x

Yes you may try to help. We have a Case of Missing Posts and Threads. For details, contact Eric and Carpe Diem, they are both pretty miffed with the forum currently.
It's not getting any smarter out there. You have to come to terms with stupidity, and make it work for you.

Hi Eric

We was just joking - Noone deleted anything - My best guess is a hitch in the system either from your end or on the server whne you posted.

Hi Baf,

Did you delete that single post or the whole thread? Did you click the "X" icon in that single post or did you click the "X" icon below the page?

Eric, which thread you talking about?
Hi Pal,

I was talking about this thread, where the OP placed a kind of advertissement on that he was looking for an American / European lady for a marketing job for his harbadashery firm.

http://www.singaporeexpats.com/forum/ftopic27964.html

But when you click on the link, it no longer exists...: http://www.singaporeexpats.com/forum/ftopic27964.html

I could understand it only from this point: It was posted by OP and questioned by me in a reply.

Either a moderator (which I understand now didnot happen according to Bafana) or the OP himself deleted his posting. Since I was the first and only to reply, the OP deleted the whole thread by deleting his posting?

He then reposted it an hour later, I questioned it again and he deleted it again as an answer?

Aya... so confusing lor... :o

Hi Pal

I deleted a thread to do with advertising Calander Generating Website this morning - reason being that it was just a suck em and get hit rates up bunch of Sites or they were asking for money (directly/indirectly). Its really rare that I will delete an entire thread.

BTW I use the post button to delete a post and the thread button at the bottom to delete a thread - So if I killed a trhead it probably deserved it (At elast at the time I thought it did lah).

All advertisements should be deleted. Ads should only be posted in the Classifieds.

Totally agree Pal, but Bafana said he did not delete it, so was wondering how it got deleted then...

Hello there!

After 3 days of investigations, I think I have identified the culprit …

I have strong evidence that the post moocher is Vaucluse himself!


On Monday, Vaucluse said:
Vaucluse wrote:Now it begs the question - does it really matter how many posts we are said to have contributed?
Then on Tuesday he wrote:
Vaucluse wrote:Can't believe I was correct . . . This calls for a celebration and a change in guise - the last post from Vaucluse.
Since then, he has disappeared from the forum. May be even from town, but believe me, we will catch him if he’s on the run!
