I was wondering if threads get deleted here, had not seen that happen before. Does it?
Don't see the pork stimulus package threaqd, had some nifty links in it. Did it get deleted? looked in troll country, isn't that where deleted thread get sent to? Should I look somewhere else? Did something bad happen whilst I slept?

Apparently so. That was a good thread too. I guess the Ministry Of Information had to perform a midnight retro-delete, as much of it likely violated appropriate liberal think-speak. We have always been at war with EastAsia.

** Update...thread is back. I guess someone replied to the original post and changed the title. That's happenning a lot these days. Liberals do control the media after all.

A problem lately is that moonbrained sickos have been altering the titles of threads, so the one you are looking for is probably still here but it may take you a while to identify it.

Never seen one get deleted. Seen a lot of them get the titles changed. It was cute once, but now it's gotten ridiculous.

Agreed. Does Haken know about this? I doubt it would be really hard to change, but he has stated before that he has little incentive to work on an outdated codebase for a site with limited growth potential, a position I can fully understand.

"People who change thread titles are worthless slime", eh?

Anyone else see the inherent irony in changing the thread title to say that?

Anybody?

Bueller? Bueller?

That's not to say I disagree with the sentiment. It IS more than just a bit played out.

You'll laugh, but hell, why not...

You've only my word for it, but I've never changed a thread title but once, and that was *long* before now, and it was a shared joke with the person who started the thread.

It's really pointless and confuses discussions that might otherwise have been useful, so it annoys the crap outta me too.

How's about callin a cease-fire on this stupid crap, neh ?

But shouldn't we at least point out how paranoid righties are about Liberal conspiracies? I haven't actualy discharged my weapon yet, sort of.

Are you saying there's a liberal conspiracy to change the thread titles here? Like we all get together in Chat and decide who's going to change what title, and how to best slime the righties with it?

If so, I'm afraid I've been left out of the club. 'Course, as Groucho said, I wouldn't want to join any club that would have me as a member...

with that lawless crowd
while the killers in high places
say their prayers out loud.
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.

Thanks for the answer/explanation. That does seem about their speed, how productive.
