Hi, I started a comparison thread on the BitTorrent section of the site comparing TL and RevTT. It got 50+ posts and a was a good thread comparing both trackers. For some reason, the thread was just wiped. It wasnt locked and no warnings were given.

It wasn't deleted; it was moved to the BT Lounge.

The Bittorrent section is more for help and support topics.

General conversation topics should be kept to the Lounge.

Again, it was not deleted only moved.

We may need to update the section description as it may not be the most appropriate now.

Please show me where the new thread is because I do not believe it was moved. There is no BT lounge.

To be fair, she didn't have enough rep to access the section so I added her manually seeing as I moved her thread there. :pinch:

Sorry but going to stick my nose in here, but can the OP actually access the lounge, as it says members need 250 posts, but he hasnt got that many.

Just if he cant see it, then what is the point in moving it there.

damn just beating by skizo but that was cool, while i was writing this fast reply, the page refreshed (by itself)and skiz`s post showed up.

btw skiz you may want to change your avatar, it still says skizo, not that you probably give a toss mind lol

Yeah, that's the new "live" thread feature. It will do that if there is a reply within 5 minutes of the previous post. So if you're having a discussion with someone, you don't have to refresh at all as it'll be like an IM conversation.

As for the avatar, yeah, I can't be arsed. :no:

which is why it doesn't make any sense to have restrictions on the bt lounge section in the first place. :frusty:

Hypothetical speaking but,
Since a lot of user don't have access in bt lounge moving topics could cause incomplete conversations
