I still hope things will work out but it doesn’t look good. This is so discouraging to hear. Either someone is a disagreeable sort or something bad has happened. Neither alternative is good.

You hate to see it…
As I said in another thread, it is a busy time of year, I hope we hear from them soon.

After skimming Discourse a bit, it seems there is the “soft-delete” normal users can perform (that leaves the “post deleted by author” message) and a “permanently delete” option exclusively for admins. According to the linked article, some forums have it configured to automatically permanently delete soft-deleted posts after a set period of time; YYE does not appear to have this setting, as there are soft-deleted posts still visible from years ago.
Given that this situation seems to have escalated, maybe @AndreBoulay can confirm whether this is the case, and - if appropriate - whether the permanent delete was requested by yoyo4life (possibly due to the tracking # containing the personal info of two forum members?).
Hopefully all is well and the user is just busy. I just don’t want to see @Beverchakus lose his premium throw when he’s so generously let the community borrow it.

odd that he had this interaction in the inception thread

Yeah, I looked through some of his BST history before. He’s been around a minute, and doesn’t strike me as the kind of guy who would steal a throw.
Yeah, me either. But the deleted post and the ghosting seems quite nefarious on the surface. I’ll give the dude some time before totally flaming hum, a number of things could have happened. Bummer no matter what though.

The system did delete it automatically - it doesn’t give me a reason more than that but it is likely due to the deleted posts rule you mentioned - I’ll look into the setting… when I try to view the image uploaded though it acts like it never got completely uploaded - so not sure why that is too…

That appears for 24 hours after the user deleted it then disappears.
Source: I’ve deleted numerous posts on this forums lol.
Idk, here’s one from 2019.
I still see several from throughout the years up until now, and not just in the BST either. It seems inconsistent without knowing what’s going on behind the scenes.
Either way, I suppose it doesn’t matter that much. Would’ve just shed some light on yoyo4life’s intentions before he went awol if we knew the reason and/or how it’s not visible now.

Well guys. I think this one is a loss. still no word from @Yoyo4life90
Sorry to those who didn’t get a chance with it and thanks to everyone who played fair and gave feedback.
I’ll be happy to continue this, if we ever find the Tyrant.
That said, keep it eye out for more Alchemik, we got a solid team now and about 8 yoyos coming. Not all titanium either, we got a ti bi metal, a 7068 Tyrant called the Talant, a delrin and another 7068 throw coming as well as my signature, The Chaku (ti organic D bearing) . I have prototypes and they all rip! Thanks peeps!
