    It is odd that it didn't get the 'moved thread' icon.

    i think i have seen that before on the org, where a moved thread has no moved icon in the original forum. it is kind of odd regardless. maybe it has something to do with how long the thread was in the original forum?

    If a moderator doesn't want to have his forum cluttered with Moved icons he can simply click a radio button and no icon is shown... even I did not expect such evilness from Soly!

    it was moved to the frontroom, Captain Drama.
    Odd that the only post for an hour and a half was right after you posted here, yet after that post, there were 5 in half an hour.

    Oh well, at least it's back. Can't win 'em all, eh?

    and half an hour later - as of right now-, no one has posted in it, so what's your point? i imagine somebody read in this very thread where it was and so went to post in it.

    that's right Rabbit, you can't win 'em all. drama will have to wait for another day.

    Given the tone of late, I think it would've been better to be transparent about it and left the moved note- that is the normal procedure is it not?

    Well then, why didn't you just use the normal 'moved' note?

    Depends on the moderator. When I was moderator of the Dungeon I never wanted Moved icons since it cluttered the forums.
