I really liked how all of the ideas were stored in this forum, anyone know where the old topics went? Did they get moved somewhere?

If only I knew.
Very sad to see that a lot of posts here have been deleted, and I have no idea who did that.

Does anyone know the subject name of one of the missing threads and who started the thread? If I can get some good info I'll see if I can possibly dig the threads up from somewhere. I can guarantee you that nothing was deleted intentionally and it is very likely that with a bit of info I can find any threads you remember. The only case that I won't be able to recover something is if it was accidentally deleted or if it was possibly lost/deleted during a forum update or upgrade.
Let me know what I can do to help out and I'll do my best to take care of it,

I know there was a rather large issue with the TOSL forum a while ago, and basically everything disappeared.. but I was not in any way involved, another mod may remember more..

Regular mods and spamcops can't affect posts in this forum. Other than the admins, mh is the only one with access. Old posts disappearing was either a software bug or someone hitting the wrong button. :)
As I recall, though, the lost posts were just gone...they didn't end up in the trashcan forum, otherwise we would have been able to restore them.

Well, I know that I didn't press any wrong buttons, not this time, and not last time.

I've noticed that the search doesn't seem to be picking up alot of threads. I've been using google and site:http://lockpicking101.com lately.

I have noticed the same thing... it seems to only pick up recent posts... I have searched for posts that I looked at less than a minute before and used words that I knew for a fact were in there and could not find posts...

Ok... - Apparently when the TOSL forum section was set up a year ago, some SW feature switch was set to "auto-delete inactive posts"  Now db has kindly corrected this and we should not run into such issues again in the future. mh "The techs discovered that German locks were particularly difficult" - Robert Wallace, H.

Sadly, yes. Auto delete sucks.
