What Happened to the Time Magazine Thread?

Where'd it go? I got an e-mail notification of a new reply, but now the thread seems to be gone.

I think PAD started that one. He deleted all his topics when he left. Most of them were recovered from a backup, but I believe anything in the week or so before he left was unable to be recovered.

Oh, I was unaware that PAD had left. Why'd he go?

We lost about 3 topic PAD started that I didn't have a backup of. Sorry.

And PAD has left the building so to speak.

There were complaints about him abusing his power, which resulted in him being demoted to regular member status. He had been complaining about being treated unfairly for a while and the removal of his power was more than he could handle. He decided to leave the site at that point. Unfortunately, he also decided to take with him every thread he had created.

Oddly enough, out of the 3 or so years I have known PAD (throughout which he seems to have hated me), the most amicable he has ever been towards me was the past month or so. That coincided with the time he was having so many difficulties with everyone else.

There's a thread devoted to this, starting from when he was banned from modding anyone all the way to when he was banned completely: http://www.democracyforums.com/showthread.php?tid=1515&page=1

I'll see if I can recover the topic by using google or some similar source, but I probably won't be able to. As I said, it was made after the site had been backed up.

And side note: I changed his username to IraqBeforeDay since he didn't want to be associated with us. I thought the username was cute.
