F1 Fanatic

Also, the Marussia story is missing from my view of the homepage, so it might just be general site problems.

I am a moderator for this forum, but I don’t know what happened to your thread, @jack22 . I always get in touch with people if there is a cause to delete one of their threads or discuss their behaviour, as you probably remember from not long ago. Deleting threads is not my preference, though; I much prefer to close threads, if I have to, so that everyone can see why action has been taken.

F1 Fanatic might be having some problems today; an article I was commenting on this morning has disappeared from the main site, for example. That could be an explanation. I’m sure we’ll find out in due course.

I would like to say this, though: if you are having a problem on the forums, the best course of action is to get in touch with a member of staff directly. @damonsmedley, @AUS_Steve and I moderate this (F1) group on the forums, so if your problem relates to a thread made here, getting in touch with one of us would be a good start. Alternatively, @keithcollantine runs this website, but bear in mind he has lots of other things to be getting on with. Making a thread like this isn’t particularly productive, as everyone is just speculating on what happened, but I’ll leave it open for now, until this issue is solved.

@Estesark
I appreciate your explanation and I aggree that openning such a topic is not productive but I just find it funny that AGAIN one of my topics has disappeared. And by the way, I did try and contact management first…

And I truly hope we can find out why or where my topic went because it really seems weird it just happens to me… Anyways… I appreciate it Estesark!!

Yeah, I can’t see the round up either, I just assumed that one hadn’t been put up yet lol.

I remember commenting on how the McLaren exhaust used the coanda effect to direct the exhaust downwards in the thread created by @jack22 – I remember @estesark seemed to comment in that thread too so I doubt it was deleted by moderator intervention.

Keith mentioned a while back that he was moving servers – the database connections might have gotten tripped up somehow; that might be it.

To be fair about the trollface avatar @jack22 – there were 1 or 2 guys commenting in one of your first threads on the forums here; who had Vettel as their avatar pictures – and you said they were Vettel fanboys – which to be honest isn’t exactly different from you being called a troll for your trollface avatar.

hahahahhhaha

As I said in the round-up on Saturday and have mentioned several times on Twitter today, the site moved servers last night, and it could cause problems with viewing pages on the site.

That explains the various problems people have encountered today, including yours @jack22 (also, I’m sure I sent you an email earlier to the same effect).

I will explain more in the round-up this evening. Thanks @Estesark for clearing the matter up for everybody.

There will be more on this in the round-up tomorrow so I’m closing this thread now.
