i wasn't either; esp when it was my thread to begin with.  but maybe that's their problem; me being the OP.  plus, any moved thread normally leaves a courtesy notice for a day or so with the clear moniker [MOVED] attached with a link.  not this time at_all.  just vanished.  and note how pages are disappearing from the locked thread as they go thru and censor parts they don't want read.  

and just what is off topic in a thread that's lasted 4 years and has 1.45M views and 31K posts?  for the several days right before it got locked it was racking up about 7000 views per day.  that's how popular it was.  but that's the pt isn't it?  stop the popularity before it gets out of hand.

just look at the bullshit from BadBear:
