I posted a thread in the clubhouse indicating I was looking to find someone who had a copy of Model Airplane News dated October 1979. That issue featured a construction article for a Dick Sarpolus design called the "Sportster 20". I am looking for a copy of the original construction article and I offered to either buy the magazine or pay for copying/postage fees for a copy of the article.
I can't for the life of me figure out what rule I broke asking for help to find a old construction article from a magazine dated 27 years ago. Why was it deleated?

i think every recent thread was deleted, the site went down for ages, and they must have restored it to a certain time where everything was saved. (eg, sometime yesterday or something)

site was restored to 5am 4/24 so posts after that may have been lost. we are working on recovery of these posts but the crash was bad and about 15 hours of posts might not be recoverable.

Looks like one of those unplanned tests of your DR plan! Don't you just hate sys administration sometimes?
