Hi.

It's not the first time a tread just disappear all that sudden, and as we know, all who start one can delete all of it, or other members who post in it can delete his / hers own posts.
Nigel as administrator can of course do all the editing and deleting he want if nessesary, but usually he use to tell why if he moderatet anything.

In my humble opinion, to delete a tread when someone has written a reply in it is a kind of being arrogant and show disrespect for the members / people who also post in the tread.

Happy playing & posting
