Over in the "Compatible Products From Other Publishers" subforum, I made a thread titled "The 3rd Party Pathfinder Thread for Good Products." Basically the intent was for gamers to share products that they enjoyed, and who they'd be good for. Especially ones which might have been overlooked due to the large amount and wide variety of 3rd Party Products out there.
I made the thread earlier today, along with about 10 of my recommendations. When I returned I found my thread missing.
Is this due to a forum glitch? Did I break any rules when posting it?
Thank you for any help that you can give!
I didn't read the thread, but in general many posts are missing tonight. Basically everything I posted since this afternoon disappeared during the last blackout an hour or so ago.

We're still figuring out exactly what's happened and what we're going to do to make this not happen again. The power went out. The UPS that's supposed to bridge the few seconds until the generator kicks in decided to take a nap. The database cluster had to be restarted from cold, which is a tricky time for a cluster. (They generally prefer partial failures or rolling restarts.) When the cluster finally did come back up, something got misconfigured. A scheduled backup fires off and takes down one mode which apparently the others dislike and they all start squabbling about who has the most recent copy of this table or that, and so damage control, cleanup and restarting the site gets more complicated.
