<p>I was catching up on the CC forums this morning, and saw that I was three pages behind in the Duke thread, and when I tried to move from one page to another it disappeared. Did I miss something? Is this another “server glitch”?</p>
<p>The 60 Minutes thread is gone, too. I was thinking that they were being merged, but it’s been awhile…</p>
<p>Possibilities:?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>It got maxed out. </p></li>
<li><p>They have a new moderator named M. Nifong.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Threads are gone and so are individual posts on other threads - as far back as 12/24 - musta really cleaned out the cobwebs - but seeing as the site has been really messed up lately - more down time than up time it seems - maybe that has something to do with it also - new servers a possibility?? </p>
<p>No clue - but sure would be nice to have some explaination from thems that be :)</p>
<p>I imagine the Duke thread got SO BIG that it threatened to engulf the entire College Confidential server. It was probably the cause of all of the problems people were having logging in. </p>
<p>Shame on you all. :D</p>
<p>There was a Duke thread? I never posted on it. What was it about?;)</p>
<p>Geez, I was just looking for the Duke thread, too, and thinking about whether I was totally losing it and the thread was actually in the Forum as opposed to the Cafe. The Revenge of the Duke Thread. The Thread that Ate CC.</p>
<p>“There was a Duke thread? I never posted on it. What was it about?”</p>
<p>Answer: Basketball. What else is there at Duke ? ;)</p>
<p>dang. Wish I’d seen it.</p>
<p>there was also something about a Dutchess,…that was her claim, i think.</p>
<p>It was here two hours ago…</p>
<p>Earlier today, there was a new thread started by Originaloog about last night’s 60 Minutes telecast about the Duke case. We don’t need two threads about the Duke case. In fact, the existing long thread about the case was also discussing the 60 Minutes show from last night today. So, I merged the two threads into the longer one and even posted on the thread about why I merged them. I left a redirect, or so I thought, on the 60 Minutes thread. Next time I opened the forum, I saw TWO long identical Duke Lax threads. I do not know what went wrong. We don’t need a duplicate, so I deleted one. Now, I notice neither are there! I am obviously not technically savvy and feel terrible. I don’t know how to retrieve a deleted thread. I have no idea where it went. I am trying to get help from CC, but am posting now to tell you the status and reason. </p>
<p>I happen to have the original long Duke LAX thread open on my screen. I don’t know if I can open the earlier pages of the thread or just the page I currently have open, page 774 (the one where I was merging the 60 Minutes discussion.) I don’t want to touch that window until I get assistance. If it is possible to open previous pages, I will cut and paste every post (will take a while) to recreate the thread. I am so sorry. I hope this can be fixed. </p>
<p>Stay tuned. </p>
<p>If I wrecked it, I am guilty as charged. No false accusers here.</p>
<p>It was probably seized by subpoena.</p>
<p>Edit: And now collegemom, is falling on the sword. (Just kidding!!Thanks for fessing up. We’d have had a conspiracy theory almost as long as the LAX thread by nightfall.)</p>
<p>Well, it’s not that big of a deal. Don’t be hard on yourself, just make sure something really crazy and illegal happens at Princeton and we can have a new thread.</p>
<p>Maybe if it cannot be reconstructed, we can just do the Cliff Notes version. It should only be 100 pages or so, versus the 670+ pages on the original thread.</p>
<p>I am NOT volunteering!</p>
<p>
ALL OF US???!!! You <em>really</em> can’t want an entirely bare forum!! :eek: The scandal might be FAR more wide-reaching than the Duke LAX one!! ;)</p>
<p>I’d only browsed through the first 1000 or so ponderous posts; and based on these posts there should be, I would presume, not a few posters that are now happy to have their egregious records erased.</p>
<p>I mean to say, the anti-“helmet-sport” crowd.</p>
<p>LMAO Berurah. I didn’t catch that one.</p>
<p>I’ll recap. Boys. Bad boys. Bad girl. Boys will be boys. Mean DA. Crazy girl. Bad DA. Evil DA. 60 Minutes. Defendant, DA.</p>
<p>Berurah, just when I want to cry for how in the world I managed to delete the Duke LAX thread that obviously was the longest thread on CC that many people viewed and/or posted on, you managed to make me laugh. </p>
<p>That is pretty funny that I said “bare with me”. A Freudian slip considering this case! :eek:</p>
<p>I am trying to get help. I normally never delete threads and there is a place to save them but in this instance, I saw two identical threads appear after I did the merge. We only needed on long DUKE LAX thread that is over 700 pages long and so I deleted ONE of them. Now both are gone. I have page 774 open but I am afraid to click on previous pages and not get those to appear. I do not know if these are retrievable. I am so sorry if I messed up inadvertantly. </p>
<p>In any case, for the time being, I want to paste all of page 774 below, which is the discussion from 9:18 AM today until 11:17 AM. This was the page that had the merged posts from the new short “60 Minutes” thread that originaloog started this AM. These are posts #'s: 11596-11610. I am going to try to copy and paste them below. I know this isn’t the entire discussion from the past 10 months and I hope I can get that back but if not, well, it’s two hours from this AM. Not nearly the same. I am so sorry. Here goes on what I have so far:</p>
