I can see this too and I'm not a patron.

I've seen a couple new threads posted in the newsfeed that when I click on them, a message pops up on a new page saying the thread doesn't exist. I've only seen this happen since the site went down, so I wonder if it's related.

I know a month (or so) ago, they were having issues with spammers creating fake ID's and then spamming th crap out of the forum. I'm guessing it may be due to some policies they put in place to help prevent that. If that's the case it would be nice if they explained that to you, in an introductory email.

i know soon after i registered, the site was down. everytime i tried to get on i got the 404 code. then i posted a question after a day of 404. It never showed up, as it was the weekend and waited for admin to approve. then i posted this thread ok. so i contacted them through contact us and its been two letters now with no response. i am wandering if there has been an admin on the site in the last few days?

Hello, I had the same issue. Made my first post on Sunday evening, received the 'awaiting admin approval' message and there is now no record of it...

Sorry guys. The system apparently pulls random posts, and I've never found a way to make it stop. I've been traveling for a couple weeks and not on the system much. All held posts have been approved.
