Disapearing topics?

Just wondering (as I am new here) why topics sometimes disappear in the forum?

The was a topic something like "Superman evac..." a while ago, now it's gone. The topic did morph into different things off topic --- but I (and I'm sure a few others) were following it.

^It's probably because it got way off topic. It went from evacuation for like 2-3 posts, and the rest had nothing to do with it the evacuation. I think he also said that it's nothing special for it to be evacuated.

^I can understand that, but my thing was that there were several people following it. Basically, people were *using this site* and getting something out of it. Why completely delete it? I mean, close it - perhaps, but leave the discussion up. What is the point?

I'd agree. Sometimes in the course of a normal conversation stuff meaders :)

I have no idea why the topic was deleted instead of locked, I didn't see the topic. We delete very few posts, and actually let most conversations go. If you have a question about a topic that was closed or deleted. Email or PM a moderator instead of making a topic like this one.

Thanks Dave :) In the 6 weeks or so I have been on the board, I have PM'd a 'moderator' with questions (on 2 occasions) and got NO response. Just letting you know.
