There's a good chance it happened from me deleting your replies. Post count lowers as posts are deleted.

Sounds to me like you have whats known as a browser hijacker cookie. That happened to me a couple of times, i got rid of it by useing a good spy ware sweeper, (webroot), or delete your temp files then your cookies then reboot your computer. I've found the only sites with these type of cookies are porn sites.

I don't think you would have, as I usually have something half-decent to say. I commented on your broadhead gun yesterday and it vanished. Did you delete that?

Nope. Ghosts. Gotta be forum ghosts. Maybe the ghosts of SpudFiles 6.whaterver are pissed.

The only recent posts I find deleted that were posted by PVC are...
The very recent thread about the State of the Union

Then these 2 replies that said...
"DEAD TOPIC"
"*hates these comments in stars*"

Aside from that, if it keeps happening let me know. Since no one else seems to be having a problem, I am lead to believe it may be on your end.

Are you sure your topics aren't just getting moved? Happen to remember what you posted in a "vanished" topic?

http://www.milincorporated.com/milshield2.html try the 30 day trial of this software, it deletes cookies and cleans all the temp files, its a really good simple, clean program. We did the 30 day trial then dad bought it over the net. :tongue8:
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.

I delete the thread I started about the State of the Union address because I figured afterward that controversy belongs at theopia rather than here.

The other two pimp deleted. I don't blame him though, they were useless posts.
