I can't imagine anything that would have got that thread pulled. It was completely benign. At least what I saw. Even if somebody responded inappropriately they would have just pulled that post.
I thought so, but the thing just doesn't exist anymore.
Oh well. I was a mod on a mixed martial arts forum, and the delete thread button was right next to a couple others that were routinely used. There was no, "Are you sure?" query, so many of us mods accidentally deleted a few threads. Oops.
I like the mods here. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.
