What happened to my post? I made a post last night; some people commented on it; now it's gone. What happened to it?

Someone changed the status to non-publish, probably because they thought it was either a double-post, or a bad link (since it just said something about logging in, adult content, yada yada), but I don't know who did it. Wasn't me.

You need to play Zork, LF.

Not much, LF-- what's grue with you?

Yes, like I need another video game to distract me.

Fuzzy Monster: I lol'ed to that.

And "grue" makes me think of that muppets sketch with the gnu's all singing.

Your keyboard is glowing with faint blue glow.

Do questions like this make anyone else feel old?

Shit, LF is older than I am and I knew what it was. ;)

one of my all time favorite comments ever on metafilter was from pretty generic. he's fairly young and he knew grue!

Re: grue, in ADOM, there's a 1 in 1000 chance of being instakilled by a grue upon entering a dark room.

If you say "mendicant" to him, there's a good chance you'll be beaten by Groo!

I thought we were pretty pro-double-posts here at Metachat. Or is that just me?

Stop looking at me, it wasn't me! I didn't do it, I swear! muddgirl, the only time double-posts have been deleted (to my knowledge) is if the original poster has asked for it to be. I have been requested a few times to do so and seem to have ended up with a minor double-post-deleting-guy rep, but this time I'm not guilty. That leaves amberglow, taz or seanyboy. They should be awake soon.

It doesn't matter who deleted it.

As for why...
We could tell you, but we'd have to kill you first.

And then re-animate you so we could actually tell you.
And then we'd have to kill you again.

Before there was any brain-eating related zombie violence.
