Sometimes when mods decide to hide or delete a thread, Google has taken a cache snapshot of the content which can then be archived. For example:
- 31 January 2016 Hellboy Ritual Magic in 4E
- 8 February 2016 Default No Mana Zone / NMZ equivalents
- 11 February 2016 GURPS Teen Wolf
- 22 February 2016 Special Strength Costs in 3e/4e
- 22 April 2017 "Dodge and Drop v melee?" was at http://forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php?t=149572 and the cache at http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:vTjaqwVVQNQJ:forums.sjgames.com/showthread.php%3Ft%3D149572+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca is 404'd
- 13 November 2017 cap on Perception discount?
- 12 December 2017 Curse of Chucky GURPS-style (warning: spoilers!)
This way, the posts of all those who reply to a thread (lost along with the original post of the targeted user, talk about throwing out the baby with the bathwater!) can still be read, and non-targeted users can be aware of how they have been indirectly affected by broad-sweeping punishments.
