The title says it all ... the whole thing is just MIA ... not moved (nor should it have been).

So ... is there a glitch? Did Chloe and Janice have something to do with it? Homeland Security? Jay Rasulo?

When threads disappear they've had arguments that went too far or were initiated by someone who has been banned. If the former, the mods will sometimes try to clean it up and it'll reappear or if there's just too much to clean it goes to that big bit-bucket in the sky.

I have no idea what could have happened so quickly on that thread since everyone seems more intent on having yet another go at the AC/PI/DD deal ... no one was offensive ... no one was disagreeing ... we had an ex-Imagineer, and very talented individual, decide to pop in and talk about his work and the company and the creative process and now the thread is gone. Something ain't kosher.

Answers???

I'm not sure we will get answers. If Mr. Sotto said or even hinted at something that was against a non-disclosure agreement then the thread may have had to be pulled for legal reason.

Perhaps he was not the real Eddie Sotto (just throwing it out there as an unlikely possibility).

There are numerous possibilities and while answers would be nice, we can't really demand them as guest of this site.

I'm sure that PMing a mod will give you any answers you need :)

Hmmm

I don't believe that anything i said was confidential as they were suggestions of my own. I only said that WDI has likely thought of similar or better and that anything i did suggest was just for fun. How do i know, I have not been there for 10 years! If the admin wants it gone, i support that. They know best.

I seriously doubt there was anything confidential in your ideas ... not for some blue sky idea that isn't happening anyway ... and not a decade later. Disney doesn't own someone or ideas they come up with AFTER they've long left the company ... if anything the company could 'borrow' them and harm an individual (and I am not saying they'd do that either).

Considering some of the stuff I've seen online, I just don't believe that Disney Legal or their social media department is monitoring this site so closely and that thread (based on interviews Eddie already gave and are out there) crossed some line. That's absurd ...

All I know was after Steve had complimented Eddie for his great work on DLP's Main Street, which really is amazing ... I had asked if Eddie was behind a blue sky idea to theme DLP's Main Street to the 'Roaring 20s/gangster movie' era that I've heard was strongly pushed before Michael Eisner axed it for a more traditional take. ... Never returned to the thread until after Jack Bauer's day ended (but not his life) and it was gone.

Strange.

Could someone please repost the link to the article from the first post that was in the old thread? I didn't get to finish reading the whole article. Thank you very much!

^ Can't be the reason. Merf's threads were still present after he was banned.

It's a real shame that thread was deleted.

It is amazing what people can get belligerent about :)

If people are interested, the conversation could certainly be restarted in a more pleasant manner....

I don't understand.. If it got belligerant, can't they just remove the offending posts?? And then block the offenders from posting??

:confused::shrug::confused:

Threads get locked when they get belligerent. Threads disappear for other reasons to which I am not privy, but I have my suspicions. The last thread I know of that vanished was the one about Iger dropping the F-bomb at a guest at the annual meeting.

Yes there was a glitch with the database and a few threads got their index corrupted. Just got everything back now, and the thread should be visible. Apologies for the outage.

The thread is at http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=440383
