    Granted, this should probably be in Helpdesk, but if it's here then standard users can reply too.

    A while ago, in the Xbox forum, there was a thread about Speedball 2. I posted on it and the next day it was gone. I couldn't find it through search, and it wasn't in the list of subscribed threads in my User CP.

    Yesterday I posted on another thread (which I'm pretty sure was also in the Xbox forum) for the game Portal. And today it's gone. Again, I can't find it through search or User CP.

    Have these been deleted or moved, or is something more sinister afoot?

    You should drop one of the forum's moderators a PM and ask him/her if they've had to do a clean-up. They'll let you know I'd say :)

    I would see them if they were deleted. I too saw that speedball thread (I used to play speedball till my eyes bled. ICECRRRRRRRRRRREAAAAAAAAAAAM!!)

    I found the other threads but can't find that one. Hmmmmmm....
    Can't imagine it was deleted, it seemed fine.

    Would it possibly have been lost in the database work?

    That's not the one. The thread I'm talking about was from a few weeks ago. It was about the release of it on xbox live.

    I'll ask Regi is there is any reason why it might have been nuked in DB work. Alternatively the mod could have deleted it but I can't imagine why.

    Portal, by the way, isnt really a FPS its more a puzzle game. It utterly UTTERLY owns and is one of the best things I've played, ever.

    Do you like cake? You will be... missed :(

    On the people who are still alive... It is a FPS though DeV. You shoot portals from a first person view.

    Tis no quake though.
