It's been a while since I last logged into my account and things seem to have changed. I can't find the Rep thread that I created for myself a few years ago. I had it linked from my Steam page- http://sourceop.com/modules.php?name=For...ic&t=93736 but that doesn't redirect anywhere anymore. If you could let me know if I still have a Rep thread, that would be great.

That link is no longer valid, you may have the wrong link OR:

It was purged due to being non compliant for a very long period of time. In late Sept of 2011 all rep threads were required to have id64 clickable urls, we left open a 3 month grace period for users to update their threads or contact us to do so, that ended up being closer to a year. Stickies, announcements, mass emails, tried to use invalid info in rep threads to contact users. We manually checked close to 2500 non compliant threads, hundreds were recovered by users contacting us, hundreds were independently verified and restored by admins, and hundreds were deemed abandoned for being non compliant for so long after exhausting all the available options and purged. Only about 300 remain for various reasons (we plan to move them out of the hidden section where they are now to the invalid rep section or purge them) We had different forum software back then that limited us in what to do with archived threads, and had to enforce the rep thread rule id requirement to prevent scammers from hijacking non complaint threads, even a few days ago, an extremely old rep thread was found in the buy/sell section that the non complaint url linked to a marked scammer account.

Sorry, but your thread is gone.

Oh that's a shame. I signed up in November 2011 and had a clickable steamID64 that you sent me on the 23/11/11 in my rep thread.

Looks like I'll start over.

If it had a clickable id64 url, it would still be floating around, so it must not have been compliant.

Ok, that's weird. I've just started a new Rep Thread with the same info from the PM in 2011. Hopefully it's correct!

I'm glad you got the right link this time and remade your thread.
