The thread I made about gifting MoP to a guild member....which got 7 pages worth of responses has been deleted. I was in the process of responding when it happened.

I'm fairly new to the forums so I'm unsure as to why it got deleted?

Most likely due to certain responses in it. The last I saw it was tailing off into discussions about welfare and disability and all kinds of crap being thrown around :(

Also, please note you're not supposed to discuss deleted threads (mostly because the usual discussion is to complain about them being deleted). There's a sticky somewhere explaining how to contact Blizz to ask them about the deletion.

Pretty much this. Topics about the game are great, but when they become too political or are derailed, it's sometimes best to remove the thread or lock it.
