Do you want me to save any threads? Just name it, and I'll save it if it's not already gone.

Okay. M, do you want me to save anything?Al, I saved all but page 17 of the haiku thread. It's the only one that didn't show up for me.
Are you still saving stuff?
Save everything you can, especially the contest threads.
Either the group is being sabotaged, or threads should be vanishing in other groups because something is wrong with the GR program.
Kat, look at the group’s home page. The moderators are being deleted.
I don't know. Could it be......i don't know. Maybe they're saving us for last?
No. I haven't heard anything. I'm on Facebook with Alex. I wish there was some way we could do a conference chat.
There is. Just a sec, I'll set it up.
We don't have any idea. It seems someone has a vendetta against the group. Members have been getting deleted, mods have been getting removed, threads are disappearing. I saved the haiku thread, but the popcorn thread is gone, and so are a few others. Al probably sent you a request to join the back up W.S.S.
Whoa, that's freakish. The popcorn is gone? :(That's sad. Thanks for saving the haiku thread though. Not yet, I haven't received a request yet.
The popcorn thread is gone. I’m just sick. The scary thing is that we don’t know why any of it has happened or what’s going to happen next.
I sent a message to Goodreads, to see if there was any way to track the deleted threads. I can’t figure who could have deleted the moderators.
Well now that's weird. :'(Hmmmm, I've never heard of this happening before now. Perhaps the Goodreads tech guys have heard this complaint from other groups before?
Good morning pirates!I've just opened up this thread using my iPad and the goodreads app and, from what I can see, I still have all the threads...
Is the popcorn thread the 'getting to know your character'? If so, I have it still.
Is there some way I can save it?
I'm sure you guys have probably already thought of this but did any of the threads have anything in common i.e. page/comment number, etc.?
Stephanie, did you have to rejoin the group?
No, I didn't, M, but I'm no longer a mod. Hey, Ryan, I can see the old popcorn thread too!http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/2...
Hey, can you guys remember any other threads that have vanished? Maybe I can still see them or some of them.
One that vanished was the Get your story/Poem reviewed.
You guys can see the threads? The links are still there for everyone, but click on it and see what happens.
The Want You Story/Poem Reviewed thread? I can see it but my browser says it can't find the page.... hmmm
Kat, you are right. Page 17 of Haiku is gone.
Yeah, I can go to every thread from the iPad app. How do I make a link and I'll see if I can link it to this post. Maybe you can access it that way? Worth a shot

I can open and read popcorn, want your poem reviewed, etc. I guess Australia must be running behind the rest of the world once again...

Then you come over here, press this box and hold and an option to paste should appear.
Has anyone tried to post in the "Popcorn" thread?
Stephanie, I restored you as a moderator. How long will it be, though, before the moderators start disappearing again?
M wrote: "Stephanie, I restored you as a moderator. How long will it be, though, before the moderators start disappearing again?"Thanks, M. Hopefully a very long time.
I can't. Which thread is that supposed to be?
The first was popcorn. The second the story/poem review. Both open for me
Posting is just fine. But lots of things are missing. Like page 17 of the haiku thread. Whole threads. Various pages of the popcorn one.
Kat wrote: "Posting is just fine. But lots of things are missing. Like page 17 of the haiku thread. Whole threads. Various pages of the popcorn one."So for some threads it's only a few pages and for others it's whole threads then?
Neither open for me, Ryan.Stephanie: Yes. That seems to be the case.
