Threads don't exist?

[Anonymous]

There are currently two Montessori threads at top of the Private & Independent Schools forum (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/forums/show/31.page)

https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/151012.page
https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/797762.page

Both when clicked through say "The topic you are trying to see does not exist."

I'm interested in reading these threads, any idea what the issue might be? Never seen this particular error before, just sometimes the bad links that happen in the daily blog posts (which for whatever reason get the URL with extra directories filled in).

Both of those threads were old, one was really old, but were revived by a spammer. Because of their age, I removed them. You must have had a cached version of the forum page. If you refresh, they should be gone.

They were zombie threads bumped up by (IMO) an overzealous booster of a particular school. One was I believe from 2019 and the other from like 2011 or 2012, so honestly, if you’re interested in Montessori schools, just start a new thread b/c the info in those would have been really out of date.

I can’t speculate on why they were deleted but IMO not a bad thing.

Got it, thanks!
