The "Rate the Av/sig above you"-threads disappear?

Why are the "Rate the Avatar or Signature above you" constantly deleted? I find it a nice game and other people do so as well, so why do they disappear?

If somebody deletes it, no problem, but PLEASE TELL US WHY. I'm annoyed that threads disappear without any message/PM and therefore in my eyes without any reason, which is deleting threads for nothing. Why?

If they are deleted automatically, also tell me why.

Isn't it strange that a nice thread (in which you practically LOSE GEMS) disappears?

They're not deleted, at least not all. This one teleported to a different subforum - where it should be IMO.

What? What does IMO mean?
In My Opinion?

That one was for that specific user's avatar and signature and was made a long time ago. The threads the OP is talking about do seem to have been deleted.

Apparently threads in the SPAM section are randomly deleted. I have no idea why, but I don't think it's a good idea.

Oh, alright. But in any case, it would seem more fitting to put those kind of threads in that subforum anyways.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah it is quite annoying when a topic randomly gets deleted in the spam section like the spyro universe emabarassment hour I had there ... ended up cancelling it *for now* after the second time it disappeared.

Its nice to know there are fans out there if the problem ever gets fixed then i'll restart the sueh and repost all the episodes i wrote and the last 2 s'pyromane wrote *lucky i saved these 2 cause it disappeared the next day*

The system that we have now actually can't do subforums.

I think the best and easiest solution would be to simply stop the random thread deletion. If it's an issue of space, some of the completely pointless spam threads could be deleted by mods every so often, but the forum games could stay.

Are you freaking serious?! Gems are bound to be lost! DX can't the system just keep the gems in the users' profiles?

@Stormy: Good idea, more laughs and giggles for the fans of Spyro, or for those who simply wanted to goof off. I mean come on, there's more than enough space that Spyrorocks has with his server.


In my world, I believe that there are many, many ideas that are waiting to be created; by inspiration, renewing an old idea, or just by accident.

Pretty weird that the six topics me and Apoc made were immediately deleted after a day. No topic else, just the av/sig rating topics were deleted every time, like this topic has been banned or something.
