Well we are a “Family “ blog/thread. Yes freedom of speech I agree. But there should be a level of class and taste we should aspire to.

Agreed. I walk right up to the line and touch it with a toe but try not to cross it….

Hanging in that Monfort Lane!!
I sent it to my brother in law and his reply was, “What’s a Monfort truck?” Had to explain it to him…

Reminds me of a favorite story of a Greek master tech pal:

Tony is plodding along the autostrada enjoying a nice day in his Cinquecento Toplino when it sputters and coasts to a stop roadside. With much gesturing and praying he tries to get it going, with no luck.
He steps out, wanders around muttering and lights a cigarette settling on a guard rail, waiting for someone to come along. After a few cars, trucks and a second cigarette he hears something higher pitched, rises, and waves frantically as he recognizes his friend's Maserati approaching at high speed. He's relieved to see brake lights as Mattia goes by, then reverses a few hundred yards.
Mattia asks what's up and Tony replies he doesn't know, it just stopped and won't start. Mattia asks if it rolls OK and if he has a rope or anything, and Tony nods approvingly.
Mattia secures the rope to the 500 and his Maserati and tells Tony he'll tow him to the next town, just wave or signal if you have a problem. "Si, andiamo!"
Mattia starts off gingerly and hand signals to Tony if all is OK, getting an affirmative reply sign. So Mattia decides some fun is in order and should give Tony the E-ticket ride, opening the Webers on his 4.5 and quickly accelerating past 160 kph, with Tony turning slighty red, waving frantically and flashing his main beams as they pass under an overpass.
On the bridge, the Polizia Stradale radar blinks 171, 172, 173 and Vincenzo gets on the radio to his compatriot at the next interchange and with great animation says: "Eh, Leonardo, I have a Maserati here doing 170 kph!" Leonardo is unimpressed, "170 kph is nothing, he is just getting warmed up," when Vincenzo says "I know, but there is some guy in a Cinquecento trying to overtake him!'

Good old days, reminds me of my first vacation in Italy, going 190kph on the autostrada and all of a sudden have the police behind me.
They friendly reminded me that it is a 130 speed limit in Italy by pointing to my Tach and that I shouldn't overtake a police car please.
Payed 80$ fine for that mishap back then.
Cheap and funny at the same time.

Now I know too..

I completely agree with the removal of those two.

My missing ones apparently are not a result of a clean up on your part so I will carry on..So much for assuming..

Probably a result of a copy rather than save / upload.

I understand 100% why you'd get upset, and would have been in your shoes too. To be clear about things here:

- Outside of normal moderation, we have lost small amounts of content over the years during software changes, scattered around various sections.

Imports from one software system to another aren't perfect. I'd estimate less than 0.1% (if that much) doesn't make it through importing to new software. The biggest problem with that is it's usually months or years before we caught a missing item. Due to their size, maintaining backups for years is not practical so if it's too long, it's gone forever.

- The worst issue we've had, and unfortunately many forums had this happen:

Photobucket, used by huge numbers of forum users, blogs, eBay accounts, Amazon sellers, and more, did massive damage to the Internet community in 2017. Without warning, they changed from free to a $399/year subscription, more than most people could justify spending.

Free accounts no longer served images to outside sites. I wrote code that tried to circumvent this, so Xenforo could make a copy of Photobucket images to store here. It only worked about 50% of the time, depending on which type of Photobucket links the images were using.

If you used Photobucket, or pasted any image links that were to pictures that were hosted here, there's a chance the image is gone. It looks like most of the time you uploaded images (which is good) instead of linking them. If you run across what looks like an empty post, post with a broken image placeholder, etc. it might be due to this.

- There is a small chance we deleted a few missing posts without notice. I think it was a year or two ago when we discovered the warning notification system here had a major bug. If we assigned a warning expiration and point, the warning notification never got sent. We didn't know about this bug until I told someone they had been warned, and several people replied they never received a warning. I tried a test warning to a test account, and found the same problem.

Thank you very much for the transparency and explanation! Much, much, much, much better than the federal government, or any government!!!
