I'm unsure if you're speaking about any particular threads or speaking in general but I just checked and none of the threads you started have been deleted. My hypothesis was proven to be sound by another forum member. Any other member is free to test that hypothesis by creating a thread in the Off topic section for that purpose and attempting to remove it using the 'Remove Topic' button. Apart from being too busy to do so, I did not want to test it myself due to concerns raised in this thread that administrators were deleting threads. It would be somewhat reminiscent of a Banana Republic if the people being accused of things were to be the ones to investigate themselves and declare their hypotheses sound based on their own findings, so I thought it better to be proven by somebody that was already contributing to the discussion at hand - I'm sure you can see the logic in that.
