Why do threads "vanish"

[BMW_M3_CSL 10]

I posted a thread about an overseas seller which has been blacklisted since then but the thread doesn't appear anywhere. I have looked under my postings list but it is gone - can somebody help out!!!! :confused:

I also cannot find a thread I posted day before yesterday ... someone doing some weeding?

Hi Allan2006 & Vegar,

 

Out with the old to make space for the new. There will be lots of posts "disappearing" this coming week. Should you need info from a previous thread,

drop me a pm and it will be treated on merit.

 

Thank you.

You're doing a fine job, Andries, what with all the nonsense we all post at times! Must be hard to keep up with us?

I like the term "weeding" used by Vegar. I should imagine that there are many postings / threads that will never be revisited again. Andries, you must be like our rugby refs - "If you don't use it, you lose it!" - Thanks for a job well done
