I could swear that earlier today there were 2 more threads in the Hardware Zone:

The New PC Build (5 pages)
The GPU Discussion thread (50 pages)

Yeaaah, it looks like the entire THREADS were deleted rather than just the POSTS, when some trolling asshat decided to spam hundreds of GIFs.

I used clean up. They posted so many gifs that the pages weren't even loading properly / responding properly. Deleting the dozens of posts manually proved pretty difficult.

I wasn't aware that the clean up functionality did this though. I'll ask Rinze about a potential backup for the impacted threads.

Sorry guys.

So are these threads deleted forever or can they be recovered? Losing huge, active, threads like the BF4 one is pretty harsh otherwise Neutral

Ouch... that's not going to go down well Laughing I wonder what else we lost? I know that spamming fucktard hit a number of other threads too, seems like this "remove all user posts" function is quite destructive Neutral

It's a feature, not a bug Cool Face

Anyway, if you keep the threads bookmarked and then bump then it should resolve the issue, no? But who the hell bookmarks those in the first place Razz

but still my last 23 post or more from the last few days got deleted , like my post in Wolfenstein PC tread about its size ... comparing it to the DRM when Midway , Disney and RockStar tough games on PC should have uncompressed assets so they should be bigger then normal to slow down piracy , examples : Stranglehold, Turok , GTA 4 , Max Pain 3

its like this forum is on some HDD thats Full and data is constantly over written then placed on new space
