G-BGTJ report and thread

[Timothy]

Am I being dense, or has the G-BGTJ report been pulled from Air Accident Investigation UnitFull List of Reports (http://www.aaiu.ie/AAIUviewitem.asp?id=12093&lang=ENG&loc=1652) and the thread pulled from here?

[what next]

Hello!

The report is still there: Air Accident Investigation UnitFull List of Reports (http://www.aaiu.ie/AAIUviewitem.asp?id=11159&lang=ENG&loc=1280)

As for the thread, the search function returns nothing...

i understand entire threads may disappear if the original poster of the first posting removes that posting... Perhaps a Mod could comment?

Thant report is the preliminary one.

I can't find the final one on the website (looks like they pulled it), but it is still available via the original link ;)

I hope that helps.

The really interesting thing is that deleted thread is not (as far as I can find) in the google cache either.

I wonder if pprune links to google to achieve this. Would make sense, given that many threads are pulled for libel and similar reasons.

Can anybody recall a specific phrase from that thread? A google on a specific phrase, in "double quotes like this" should dig out the thread from its cache.

I'm as puzzled as anyone else - the thread (Light aircraft missing en route to Ireland) was there yesterday, and it's not here today.

You can see the first page in the Google cache, but not the more recent posts - that's a function of how the page is cached by Google, I think, and obviously the links to subsequent pages don't work because it is no longer on PPRuNe.

I can't see it at all in PPRuNe, so it's been hard deleted, not moved or "soft" deleted (still visible to mods). No idea why. I hadn't seen anything particularly contentious up to last night.

If BRL or any other mods know anything I'm sure they will explain.

I think the original poster has done it, that is all I can think of that will make this happen. None of us behind the scenes has done anything to it, no reason to really.

Does pprune do backups?

[IO540]

Every forum has archives but it can be a lot of work to restore the archive on a virtual machine somewhere, extract the one thread from it, and inject it into the live database.

However, sometimes the mods here are not fully informed. I was once banned from here (for posting a dodgy URL, as a joke - got a ban within ~ 30 seconds by the admin) and the mods didn't know the cause.

Maybe this explains why the report was pulled?

Maybe this explains why the report was pulled?

Indeed, but not what happened to the thread here.

I have initiated some enquiries with the admins.

Early indications suggest either cock-up / finger trouble or software glitch. And no connection with the revision to the AAIU report.
