Sorry for the dumb question, but I keep reading about Baggins stuff being deleted, but then I read the other day, can't remember which thread it was, that apparently it hadn't, it was just inaccessible or something.  So what is the situation there, has his stuff been deleted or not?

It was discussed and defined in numerous posts.
The forum attachments have been re-named to useless files like attachment_124567890.txt, making them useless AND unsearchable.
