Of course the correct step would be for you to e-mail an admin, not the other way round...
 
Wasn't me or Koasati it seems. I guess you kinda did the right thing since you don't know who deleted the post, and nor do I.
A cool thing would be a special board where you could post something only for admin eyes, and where you could only see your own posts along with admin replies... if that makes sense.
It wasn't me either. I never saw it. I'm sure the answer will surface as the sun makes its way around our planet.
OK, had a discussion with the admin who did it, and we decided that he probably did the right thing. We can't just let people start reviving old threads. There is already little space for legitimate posts, as they often get pushed off screen by sometimes already a lot of double posts, so maybe it's not a good idea to revive old threads unless there is a really good reason.  It probably doesn't matter if it's just one old thread once in a while, but we can't let this become a habbit.
So, that's our new position regarding this.
