Has a whole lot of the DU archive been purged from the WWW?

[Coyotl]

I just discovered some very hard work and difficult research on DU is gone from the Web.

Here it is on Google cache from "a snapshot of the page as it appeared on 2 Jan 2014"

http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:NqzW4KIwLdkJ:www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az%3Dview_all%26address%3D389x3070446+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=ca

And here is the original:

Gov. Don Siegelman, the Roughly $3.6 Billion, ExxonMobil, and Pissing Off BIG OIL.
Mar-27-08 - http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x3070446

Please, please, please DON'T tell me we have been hacked.

This came to notice just this afternoon. Do we have to begun hunting stuff in Google cache to salvage our years of hard work?

1. I think you might want to Ask the Administrators about this. Here's the link:

I hope it hasn't been lost.

2. O.K., this is really alarming. A whole lot of bookmarks are not returning pages. Years of research

is gone. They all return the following:

"An error occurred during processing."

3. No hacking. Report it in ATA

More like a bug or problem with code. It's not hacking, though.

4. I blame the NSA!

5. I've "Asked the Administrators" about this a couple days ago.

I was looking for an old post and got the same thing. No answer from Skinner yet.

6. Thanks. I posted there and linked this thread too.
