Buzzkill · July 14, 2006, 09:27 AM

Hi all

One quick question .

Yesterday I was half way through reading a very interesting thread about which one gun people would take if they could only take one .

Now I cant find that thread anywhere . Ive looked in tactics and training and general disscusion but its nowhere to be seen

Can someone please give me some directions as to where that thread is ,please .

Thanks
bob

I don't have a clue where it went. Do you recall any single member who had posted in the thread?

Buzzkill · July 14, 2006, 12:35 PM

Im not sure but I think Para bellum posted in it .Im not sure though.

I can remember that it was three pages long ,maybe two , and on the second page there was a pic of a m4 with a eotech on it .

Is there any way you can cross reference all the pictures and maybe that way find the thread .?

Its really fustrating because Im certain I was looking at it yesterday and now i cant find it

Maybe its possible that one of the mods deleted it , I dont know why they would though ...

Thanks
Bob

Sorry, still can't find it. I checked Para Bellum's posts for the past 6 months and there was no thread similar to the one you described. We can't search for pictures based on the image content.

Are you positive it was on TFL?

I had already checked for deleted or moved threads before my first post here.

I remember seeing that thread recently, Mal. I think it was in general discussion.

Strange!

Buzzkill · July 14, 2006, 03:38 PM

Ok , I just read through the first ten pages of general discussion and nothing .

Is it possible the server for this forum deleted a thread or blocked it out ?

Do any virus,s delete single threads or what ?

Don't know what happened to it. I remember it, but I can find no trace of it.

I can't see that the server would have simply deleted it without it being due to a MySQL DB corruption which would probably have brought the forums down.

its in the art of the rifle forum. or you can look up my posts and go to page 16.
hope i didnt post this to late

I don't know if that's the thread everyone was looking for, but it's a good candidate.

I guess we couldn't find it because everyone thought it would be in one of the more general forums, not in the rifle forum. I know I didn't look in the rifle forum.

Ah, you're just getting old and forgetting where you put things, Mal!

Memory of something only works if you've seen or been involved in that something before.

Actually, I did check to see if the thread had been moved to rifles, it hadn't. It originated there. We still don't know for sure that that is the thread in question.
