I am a bit more interested in the extent to which posts might have been deleted in terms of OGNasty's own back and forth communications, which seems to be what Twitchy asserted to have happened within a short period of Twitchy's attempted investigation into some of the possible factual matters. In that regard, I had thought that there should be way back machines or something like that that would establish if Twitch's assertion about OGNasty engaging in shredding would be true.. and then furthermore, a way to see the contents of the shredding attempts without having to rely upon any forum administrator's possible abilities to access such contents.
Am I naive to believe that there are way back machines that would capture the contents of forum post shredding attempts. There are guys (and perhaps a gal or two) who are way the hell better at using those kinds of interwebs tools than me... to the extent such tools might exist.
It looks like I was wrong about him deleting posts from that thread. It's possible I saw the long OP get deleted and for some reason though it was actually deleted posts, or it could have been in another thread. It looks like all he did was delete the entire OP and lock the thread. So, yeah, I was wrong about that and apologize to OG for making that claim.
I'm seriously not out on a Witch Hunt here and If I find anything that exonerates him or something I that makes him look 'less bad' I would post it for sure.
For anyone that is behind, please read
this post, and then
this post if you want to catch up.
Thanks for that clarification, Twitchy. I am glad that wayback machine was able to clarify that deleting of posts was not as BIG or widespread as previously recalled, and surely we know that sometimes OPs are rewritten as matters evolve, so sometimes the rewriting of the OP could cause some inadvertent appearances of a cover up that ends up NOT panning out upon further investigation.
