Disappearing Threads

(Not sure what category to put this in) but anyways, hello, I have noticed something odd. Some forum threads, counting ones in my favorites, all forums, newest, and from the search bar, redirect you to the main forums page. Is this a glitch, a hack, or is there something the moderators don't want you to know?
(If your a mod keep it cool, this is just something I noticed. Don't gag me for having it in the wrong category or something pointless.)

First off, you will not get gagged for misplacing a forum thread nor for asking a question like that. You only are gagged if you somehow break the rules, which this does not.

Likely the threads you are trying to find have either been deleted by the person who made them or by a moderator for some reason within their jurisdiction.

Maybe you deleted it by accident, or a moderator deleted it because they saw something wrong with it.

Sometimes a user will delete their post/thread if they receive answers they don't like or for any number of reasons. If you posted in such a thread you will notice it is no longer listed in your history and you cannot locate the post. In some cases this may be done by a moderator if the topic is controversial, but it is most often done by the original poster. Sometimes this redirection will occur when you click a link on the homepage because of some form of lag where the link is still visible but the post/thread no longer exists, but the visible link will normally disappear shortly thereafter.

it was most likely deleted. normally whole threads get deleted because their was swearing or an argument. sometimes it's because the topic was fluffy or didn't contribute to the site in anyway. commonly though threads are locked.
