Thread got Eaten?

So I was typing up about PLUR because I think we all should embody it more, and I had this nice paragraph all typed out. It wasn’t too too long, but it was worded good. Anyways I add an extra emoticon because I know that the website always eats the last character of a post, then I go to post it. Yup that’s a motorcycle alright. Uh huh, cloudflare. Ok. Wait where am I? Why is this green? Why is it taking so long? My browser automatically refreshes and I zone back in, horrified; has my thread been… eaten? Not in the literal sense, but in the sense that it was there and now it’s not. At least I don’t think so. Even when a thread needs mod approval, it still shows up for the person who posted it, right? That’s what happens in my experience. Reminds me of a time when my photos kept getting eaten. I tried to post the same photo *three times* before it actually worked. I wonder what’s in the belly of this website; probably a bunch of ones and zeros I figure. But what are those ones and zeros? My thread about PLUR. And my new years selfies. And the last characters of countless thread posts.

It’s not like I’m using a VPN either. Is my Canada wifi just sketchy? It works peachy keen. I guess websites are just like this. Maybe we’ll never know.

Hopefully my lost forum post isn’t too scared in there
