This may or may not be a database error. I see from the log that the redirect in the Veterans' Board that pointed people to Fight Club expired at 12:58 P.M. - about the time the thread went missing. I see this happened one other time with a thread that was moved from Sound Off into Music Discussion but seems to be gone now. (Any ideas what topic was moved into Music Discussion on the 19th? I can almost recall what it was.)
It may be an issue with the redirects. More to come.
That's exactly right. This is definitely some database quirk.
Nick, that thread helped me through bad times.
Bring it back.
I thought Chao had ended up posting the goods and the thread had to get deleted because it caused super drama while I was sleeping.
That would've been awesome.

VBULLETIN BUG
I will try to resurrect the thread a very super-ghetto way
You are simply the best tech guy on the Internet. You made my day.
So, is this thread, as well as the main Vet's Board, going to disappear now?
Yes, no.
Looks like I hit the nail on the head. From the software guys:

Thanks once again to cka for bringing back the Chao thread. He laughs at the term "data loss."
