What happens to deleted posts? I noticed that dude3's 2001 post topic was gone, so I decided to search for it, thinking that I had hallunicated(sp?) it's existence on TT. It showed up in the search but wasn't found when I clicked on the link. How is it still there, just not?
------------------
It really sucks to have a boring sig. You know, the kind that drones on forever and never really says anything. I try my best to never have one of those. Every time I make a new sig I try to get it to be a truly outstanding sig. Some people have sigs like that. With neat (EVula) links and stuff. Witty quotes are good too. But then some people have really, really, boring sigs that you'd die before reading more of. They just go on, and on, and on...those sigs really annoy me. I mean, they say nothing and nobody really cares anyway! I pity the people who have those.

Read all of a discussion in progress (we call this a thread) before posting replies. Avoid posting "Me Too" messages, where content is limited to agreement with previous posts.
Moo, have you ever read that?
By the way: The topics go to SugarCandy mountain, where topics can eat, and laugh, and play all day long. Its right there, just over the clouds...

Just like if you had bookmarked the link you could still go to where it used to exist, but no longer does. The links remain, and the search engine doesn't realize that the topic itself is gone because it refers to a listing of all the topic names on this board - an index or something, Bryce knows more than I do.

Look at his registration date. September 2000, which means that he's been around for a long time--he just hasn't posted much.

He hasn't posted here until recently. He has no irc number, no email, no screen name for AIM, he is very secretive. I did a search on google(hey, I am a loser, therefore have lots of time on my hands) and got three results: His posts here, his profile, and a profile from the "stonefire" forums which has his name here as the sn for AIM in the profile. Interesting.

From time to time, Hector the Wonder Bird decides that she wants a nice digital snack, so she flies into the Ambrosia servers and grabs hold of a nice topical treat (Hector is called the "Wonder Bird" for a reason). The topics Hector chooses are picked randomly, but usually they are older (as in this case, probably because there are more older topics than there are newer). However, newer topics also have been known to be eaten occasionally.
The most notable example of a newer topic being digested by an office parrot was when Aben Zin's "This or That" dissapeared from the first page of the B&B and had to be replaced with my "This or That Revival." As always, the original still showed up on a search but the topic itself was nowhere to be found (nobody has come up with an idea as to why Hector doesn't cover her tracks).
Some conspiracy theorists around the boards have decided that our own red-headed stranger, Captaintripps, was the mastermind behind training Hector to eat these topics. As such, this phenomena has become known at a "Trippsian Poof" (as was first mentioned within "This or That Revival", for whatever that is worth).
I hope that this has cleared it up for you.
