Perhaps Pikajedi spunked all over the server when looking at Dook's nuddies. 
OH HELL NO.
it was just data loss, nothing sinister.
The only thing that gripes me these days is that the mods feel free to go into a post and change things, without permission or explanation.
All of the mods?
mainly genesis. Pika does also, but at least he says why. Never see Zodrau.
Yeah, I do edit posts but only where appropriate; in some cases permission is irrelevant. Usually I'll prefer to just remove a post, rather than edit - if it's edited, I could have changed what was in it competely. Hidden, there's a record and a log.
And of course, as you say, whenever I do edit a post I leave a note and if further explanation is needed I'll post. If I remove something, I post and leave a notice that I've removed it (unless it's spam, in which case whatever). I have an annotation key for a reason.
Of course, if you feel my notations are not detailed enough simply say so and efforts will be made to improve them.
AFF is back, but some posts have disappeared. I haven't seen the admins post anything about the outage.
Deja vu. 
Yeah, I can only imagine

Disclosure; We migrated server, a few hours worth of posts and PMs were lost - that's part of why the board was locked down, to minimize loss, as well as to ease transition. Now we're on a slightly different setup, and it looks like our modbot will work now - we'll see what happens.
