Apologies if this has already been discussed, but I'm becoming convinced that some threads have disappeared from the site.
For some time now there have been a few puzzles which others have suspected to be reposts, but where the original couldn't be found.
I hadn't really thought too much about it, but yesterday a puzzle appeared which I was absolutely convinced was a repost, principally because I remember solving it as a rookie, but it's not there now. I have tried the search function, I've looked through the Solved Autopuzzles section for the appropriate period, and I've trawled through my own posts, and it's gone.
This led me to delve a bit more into my own earlier posts, and up to the time when I posted my first puzzle, at which time I must have had at least 20 Autopuzzle points, I can only account for 14 up to that point. So six puzzles I answered seem to have gone walkabout.
Now, for a site this size, the loss of a few threads is hardly significant, but I wanted to see if this rang bells with anyone else, mainly to convince myself that I am not imagining it. It seems to me that the missing threads (at least in my own case) would have been posted around the end of April and beginning of May this year.
Is anything known about this? Having been (in another life) a moderator and admin deputy on another car forum, I know that these things happen, for reasons which can sometimes be explained, and sometimes not.
I just wondered if anyone else had noticed anything similar.
Admins, please remove this is it has already been discussed elsewhere. Thanks.
