What happened to soly's "graphic images from israel/lebanon" thread?

[Big_John]

earlier today, solypsist created a thread in the backroom in which he said he was in either israel or lebanon, or at the border, and he posted some graphic pictures of death and destruction.

that thread has disappeared, i would like to know why. the reason i'm asking is because in that thread, Eclectic noted that he had seen one of those pictures in a magazine, and was wondering what the connection was between solypsist and the magazine's photographer. some of the pictures which were posted can be found at various places around the internet, as well.

was this thread removed for reasons of misconduct? content? personal security?

Intriguing.

As far as I know, Soly is on his own I think.

Interesting web site.

I was wondering the exact same thing.

Is everyone's favorite moderator a fraud?

Perhaps hes has sold the rights for the pictures to those magazines.
That would possibly mean that he doens't own them anymore and isn't allowed to show them?
