hi....so basicly i have been going to threads and noticed something strange, most of the some what recent post are gone. i also have noticed that my profile changed even though i havent changed it and now it will not change back. i have also seen the threads and they are like "random thread-last post 3 weeks ago". just wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if it is time for a new cpu...

i dont thing the spam bots can delete things. they just spam. its possible that a mod might have acedently deleted some real threads after going through page after page after page of spam bot threads.... possibly. either that or im just lagging.

1) It's happening to everyone.

2) It's another forum glitch.

3) It's most likely related to the recent forum glitch or something to do with the spambots, like a forum reset/change.

4) There "was" a thread in the Support and Suggestions forum called HEEELLLLPPP!! which I had already posted on and "would" refer you to if I could find it, but since I can't I'll just briefly put in what I had there, knowing that this is a dup, but w/e.

Yes, there's a glitch and everyone is experiencing it, making threads about your lost useless AP and your abouts and that the threads are all out of line date-wise and that some posts are disappearing just adds more work for the mods to clean up afterwards. So please, just be patient. Read a book, play outside, shoot some people on CoD, roll around on the floor crying because your flash games forum is doing what the guy who made the Kony video was on when he got arrested, but don't post more threads about this please.

There was also the database maintenance they did last week.

Here's a weird little anomaly I found. It looks like page 2 of that Hunger Games thread is hungry for ancient posts.

Yeah I saw that too Ernie. I can't even imagine how that happened. It looks like it either decided to dredge together random posts from other threads or linked it to some ancient page 2 of another thread and messed up the dates. Some posts that come after were posted a year before the one prior to it...maybe AG has stumbled onto the secret of time travel?

The thing about those posts, though, is that they all seem to be from different threads. A few of them look like opening posts to lost threads (one of them was obviously sucked in from the ol' Count to 100 thread). The remaining posts appear to be people who figured out how to post in "secret topics", which also somehow ended up there.

And the strangest part of all of this is that the dates are in reverse-chronological order. Now, if that isn't the most bizarre glitch I've ever seen, I don't know what is.

All that weird stuff has happened to me, too. I wish it would be fixed already.

It's being fixed as we speak. I highly doubt the admins are just sitting there in their fancy armchairs in front of the fireplace sipping tea and laughing at us because there's nothing we can do about the glitches.

I doubt they're working on these things in the middle of the night.

I realized that and included it in my list of possible explanations.

"It looks like it either decided to dredge together random posts from other threads"

Well, things appear to be fairly normal again. The threads aren't all out of wack, although a few are still missing and there are other bugs still, it's not quite so major.

I doubt they're working on these things in the middle of the night.


The server time isn't California time. It's 8pm there atm.

It's 9:30pm, but either way, it is still pretty late to be at work.
