Well, I don't know how much I'm representative of the forum's members, but I'm kinda getting sick of seeing peoples cry for their lost thread.
Sure, it's sad. On the other hand, just like Darkfire and the other mod are telling everytime someone come crying : we've been warned.
Thread have been save because peoples have care enough about them to do the work required.
Thread I had create / followed have been put in the dreadful "to be destroyed if not updated" section - and I got warning in my alert tab every time.
So yeah, I took the time to see that they get safe. But that the minority of the info I had about them.
Every 2 weeks we had a new batch of thread put to death and another batch to the death corridor. It was pretty easy to see because they always where in the same place, and every time a new batch arrived, everyone could knew instantly because the thread about the updating of the forum was updated - meaning he was appearing in bold front - on a sticky ! That should have got your attention.
And checking the thread ? dunno about you, but checking the 5 pages of the first batch took me less than 30 mins everytime.
I'm not here to say who or who did / didn't do a thing. But it was easy to be aware of what was happening, easy to check if a thread was of concern to you.
Did you do it ? did your budy do it ? - I can't tell. But if you didn't act, then you can only have regret.
Trying to undo some harm that got your way is a very human thing, so I can't really fault peoples for asking....
But I really feel it's been going on for too long.
I know I let die some of the thread that are missed by peoples because I wasn't interested in these game (how does I know ? simply because if I see a 40+ page thread about a game I'm not interested and let it be destroyed, I can be sure some peoples will miss it). And who know, maybe in future time I'll take an interest in that game and regret not having save the game.
But that's the thing about a community - it's made of many peoples. You should be able to count on the others - and since we're all the other of others, we all need to get some work done or the community don't exist.
I'm not a mod or anything, but I really thing it's time to stop mourning the deleted thread because of laziness or lackadaisical whim and get on with the forum life to make sure the new thread are made according to the rules and save the other thread.
