This is why StackExchange sites will die.
Or perhaps they're just being subtle:
"This question was caused by a problem that can no longer be reproduced or a simple typographical error...."
- jonahx 13y agoWell, at least it's not a total loss, since the SO mods take great joy in killing joy. One wonders how they deal with the situation of their own joyfulness, because it too should obviously be killed, but in order to do that they'd have to unhold joyful and interesting questions, creating joy which itself necessitates killing, and so on. Fork bomb.
- kibibu 13y agoNot only that, there are many great and informative questions/answers that are gone. One of my favourites was "Most astonishing violation of the principle of least astonishment", and the answers were a catalogue of how-not-to-build-software. Examples of good behaviour are nice, but counter-examples are often just as informative. Alas, it was "not a good fit for a QA"
