I think there must be some glitch - because a whole bunch of threads aren't showing up now.

There was a troll, and I think in deleting the troll's posts, a bunch of actual discussion got deleted. One person ruins it for everyone. Again.
there's no thread for Hamilton obsessives, either. I liked that thread.
Some threads are missing from off-topic, too. The troll posted in dozens of threads, and I think the moderators just cleaned house.
We lost the Diversity on Broadway thread, the Spring Awakening flailing thread, and the If/Then tour thread as well.
The one thing I learned out of this is that Rob didn't bother signing up under his full name if only as a placeholder!
Hopefully this Pinto blew itself up.
All started by the same user, or were there multiple deletes?
Once again, this software proves itself inferior. When I ran a community site, and you deleted a user, all of their posts were attributed to an anonymous account for this very reason.
It looks like 98% of the threads that had replies posted today between 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.-ish have been deleted. Really hoping this is a temporary glitch.

I actually still have it open in another window. I won't bother pasting in the content (not because it's offensive, but it's gone for a reason), but they posted in:

That's a lot of major threads to delete because of one troll, no? Unless they take them offline, prune, and restore?

Yeah, I've worked on a few sites before and if we got trolls we either just deleted their posts or their account got turned into an anonymous user instead. We would never delete every thread they posted in because, as happened here, you end up losing good content. If it's because of the software of the site, that's pretty bad.

The grosses thread was restored so maybe the others are out there somewhere.
Are all these threads gone? Those are just the most recent ones that the person posted in that show up in their profile; I didn't actually check all the links.

Not sure about all but a lot of them look like they're gone. Too bad.
I hope those threads come back. The On Your Feet! previews and The Wiz one were really great threads.

Seriously, if that thread is gone forever, I'll be so mad.

Not every post in Lizzie's screenshot went missing, btw. So if you're going by that, it won't line up. Oops, looks like Obsessives and On Your Feet are back... maybe all of them?!

It's kind of funny that when someone mentioned "troll", the first person I thought of was Phillypinto. ![]()
I'm kinda confused on what happened but would really like to know... PM me, please?
Someone posted nonsense in a ton of threads. The posts got deleted, and along with some of those posts, some threads disappeared too, but are coming back. That's about all you missed.
