The disappearances are random......

There appears to be no conscious decisions involved. When this stuff were found to be happening, everyone from the top down were scratching their heads. I'm not even sure if anyone even checks content after the post is archived. If there's a scrubber program involved, I couldn't imagine what the parameters would be and I'm sure it would have been discussed back in the day. It appears to be some glitch that pops up every so often.

I think Rich has it.

The disappearance may be related to size of the files or some other, unknown factor. Whatever the case, I'm sure it's automated. It would be far too time-intensive to have someone go in a delete them.

I'll do some poking around and see if I can find out.

Ah yes George, a controlled study to prove a theory. Can't wait to analyze the data. Good work!
