Disappearing Threads

[onsilver_stars]

We had a thread for the book club, which has disappeared. Do we need to keep posting in it daily to keep it up? Or do I just need to keep creating the same threads over and over?

Oh dear. Do you remember if the thread was affected by spam posts? Maybe the admin deleted threads that contained posts by spam bots...

I think threads get automatically deleted if there hasn't been a post made in a certain amount of time. It also seems that there is only one page of threads allowed for each subforum. That means 25 threads max per subforum. I understand wanting to prune old topics but that seems too soon, causing threads to be re-made and conversations lost.

I am really curious about this too, I went away for Thanksgiving and when I came back, some of the topic I wanted to read had just disappeared. If it is spam bots that are the problem, could you not just delete the individual posts?

Yeah, I just looked at the topics and so many threads were just gone! And some had a lot of info in them (i.e. the Buffy one). It's hard to form a community if you're worried that what you write is going to get deleted...

I really wish a board admin would take some time and address this and the ridiculous censoring situation. Also, I'm cool with ads/banners and what not but not a fan of the pop ups. Not to be a total whine box.

Nearly done with the boards, to be honest TOO MUCH SPAM. What the heck.

Anne - you can't leave! You're so interesting!

xyz - I agree.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I know - what's up with the spam? I've used boards like this before and I've never seen so much spam. Surely something can be done about it.
