A member known as TheLastPost has been posting on one of the threads I watch. Now, all of a sudden, every post s/he has ever made has vanished. Is this normal, even if a member leaves PH? I thought that the historical record was retained? Or am I missing something?

TLP was first respondent, now vanished (but quoted for posterity)

S/he replied to me, I replied and quoted, all TLP's contributions now vanished.

Seems to have vanished from there, too.

Through Google cache search, I've turned up the member profile: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?mem...
all of a sudden, no posts at all, despite a post count of 447.

Google cache of a thread with posts now missing is here: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cac...

Well from what I can see they've just ploughed through all their posts and deleted them. It's not something we've done that I can see and they're still a member that could post if they fancied.
