Am I losing my marbles or is my sight failing...

Now, I don’t come onto this section very often, but I pop in from time to time to catch up on the ‘everyday man approaching retirement’ thread and the thread devoted to and supporting widows. Can’t remember its proper title.
But, having caught up with the first, I can’t find the second one. Has it been moved? I think I even posted on it once and I can’t even find that.
I’m sure it was here. Am I going mad?

Sadly, the thread has gone.
Several long threads on the OS board have gone too.
Here's what MSE say about it:

and specifically from MSE Andrea:
It's very sad to see this very supportive thread disappear with no hope of it being reinstated.
Tried that, as I’d posted on it - just once - but no, it’s disappeared from my own postings too.
Thanks to you all for enlightening me. At least I’m not going mad.
We had a fabulous, chatty 'what are you having for dinner tonight' thread on the OS board which went the same way.
And a 'love food, hate waste' thread.
Lots of recipes and links lost forever.
I can't quite get my head round how a thread can't be brought back but maybe I'm just not techie enough to understand.
It's quite easy to hit the :spam: button by mistake when you're scrolling up and down on your phone.
I always go back and mark the post as 'not :spam:' but I guess some other posters didn't think it was that important or maybe didn't even notice.
Well we couldn't authoratively say that chesky:p, just not as regards the disappearing thread:D.
Read post #3.
I think that the system must be set so that a certain number of people marking a post - any post, not a specific post - as :spam: results in the whole thread being deleted for ever.
I know TripAdvisor has a similar system but deleted threads can be reinstated.
I thought I was the only one this happened to. I always mark it not spam also.
But there are even longer threads surely - must admit I haven’t checked, but the widows thread hadn’t been going as long as some others.
