Was looking for some information on a somewhat contentious subject which was discussed about a decade ago here, and it appears to have disappeared.

The thread you were looking for has fallen into a black hole!​

Oops! We ran into some problems.​

Is the thread truly gone?
If not, who do I contact to get a full copy?

Thanks!

That thread from 2010 is way too political to still be visible with PF's current policy and rules about political posts. It's a long thread with hundreds of posts on about 10 pages, so I'm not sure there's a way to make a copy of it for you. Was there a particular post or exchange you were looking for?
 
@OmCheeto I recently purged some old political threads that were not in line with our guidelines. I can certainly provide you with a text thread output if you want.

Yes, please!

I think it would be great if we could create a section in Civics Watch with such threads.
Just for historical content, of course.
Losing the wise words of some our past members seems a shame.

ps. Greg, in the future, can you post announcements of such purges?
I'm pretty sure I would have paid money for a copy of many old threads.
I'm still VERY upset that I don't have a copy of the original, unredacted:


Anyone know where DevilsAvocado is?

hmmm yes, not sure of an easy way to do this though, the importing.

I should be able to get you this as well. What is the actual thread link?
