Why do topics disappear?

#1

Post by Fcs »

Yesterday morning there was a topic started by TimM on his CNC beveler, by evening it had vanished. This morning penta-spey gave his detailed procedure for strip preparation, heat treating etc. now that is gone. Where do they go and why? I feel like I’m being gas-lighted.

People delete their own posts for whatever reason. None of the mods or admins deleted those posts or topics.

So if I start a new topic I can later delete it, including the posts other members made to it?

There's a time limit, and if other posters have posted to it, then usually no, you can't delete after a post has been made in reply.
