And if not, it looks as though I've hidden it. Can anyone tell me how to unhide it?

I think they are scrabbling around to organise flying Original Tech back from America to sort this mess out. He'll be cracking his fingers and going hoo haa hoo haa beating his chest to pep himself up for the mammoth task. You mark my words.

I signed up for responses to KP propaganda

This is really odd. Not ok really. Topics shouldn't be deleted without consultation.

Villagetoraiseachild · 09/01/2023 18:38

Watching.
Waiting.
Mercury Retrograde?

Yes when they combined or deleted topics in the past MNHQ have always consulted users, and it's usually because traffic on those topics is slow.

Also it's really concerning that MNHQ didn't know it had been deleted.

More worrying that it appears not to be MNHQ that has removed it.

Maybe someone decided (not unreasonably) that there's enough going on in the UK that's actually important and disastrous, so felt that minusing a bit of the bread and circuses distraction was no bad thing?

DogBowlsAreMyWeapon · 09/01/2023 18:40

Given mnhq call their users nuts, I’m not sure they’d consult staff before hitting the delete button.

Hi all

We're releasing a fix for this now, it should be fixed later on this evening. Flowers

But deleting the topic doesn't help. The discussions are just going to be in chat or AIBU. At least with the RF topic users who didn't want to see those threads were able to hide the majority of them by hiding the topic.

So the theory about why the section disappeared revolves around there being too many memes.

So people start posting memes.

Is this to try and make the Site Stuff forum go puuuffffff!???

tobee · 09/01/2023 18:43

The poem's been deleted!?!?!

MoscowMules · 09/01/2023 18:44

It probably just got overloaded. 🤣

I do hope it comes back because I was hoping to learn about biracial identity.

I'm a loan parent to a biracial child and wanted to learn more about supporting him believe it or not, and was waiting for a response on one of the Meghan threads 😳🤣

Swissmountains · 09/01/2023 18:44

Maybe we have an insider at HQ, like the KGB equivalent working for the Sussex HQ secretly and zapping royal threads and topics.

I was actually thinking earlier the threads have toned down in wattage and people seem to have calmed down a lot - some of them were even sort of nice (if you squint side ways) maybe this is reverse psychology and the Sussexes WANT is to carry on posting millions of angry threads....

Yes, this aligns with Harry's strategy that even really shit and dire PR still pays, and why not throttle every dollar out of the negative publicity if it is coming anyway - what genius. Didn't know he had it in him Grin

Anyone else see that?

They are playing with us Tobee. Next you will turn into frog or a fairy or something!

Sweetpeasaremadeforbees · 09/01/2023 18:48

Ha ha, is it possible that the meme thread overloaded the RF topic? I know that MN infrastructure is cranky at best but I thought it was better than an overloaded extension cord.

Swissmountains · 09/01/2023 18:48

moira has indeed been cancelled.

jeffgoldblum · 09/01/2023 18:49

It's still deleted for me !

Swissmountains · 09/01/2023 18:49

Has Moira been deleted by MN or by the unknown entity stalking our site?

LetsDoThis2023 · 09/01/2023 18:50

The Corgis ate the threads 🐾🐾🐾

bakalava · 09/01/2023 18:50

To be fair, there were too many new threads appearing on it so this is like cold turkey rehab!

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 09/01/2023 18:50

PAFMO · 09/01/2023 18:27

HQ please reinstate the topic.
It's like the leak at Fukushima at the moment with them all starting exactly the same thread in AIBU. Get them rounded up and back in their little ObsessFest.

😂
