Default Missing Topics

I recently discovered 423 topics which had disappeared but the posts remained. I've gone in and reassembled the missing topics and you'll see them titled "Recovered - Untitled". If you happen to own one of these topics we would appreciate it if you could edit the thread title and restore it. Thanks.

We have four in the Georgia Forum. I am unsure what the original titles were. I'll have the OP's update the info. Thanks.

It looks like the recovered-untitled threads were actually parts of existing threads. For whatever reason the posts were discarded.

I only found one in the Oklahoma community. It looked like the original post was deleted, but all the replies remained, so now the thread doesn't really make any sense. Basically, it's a bunch of answers, but no question.

^ Delete it if is it of no use.

I don't know how the orphaned posts got in the database though I suspect a number of threads were deleted but not all of the replies, perhaps it was interrupted part way. If they don't make sense or aren't complete threads then mods and co's please feel free to dump them.

I have discovered two of them in our community as well. The original topics looks like they were deleted but they don't make any sense, so I have just moved them to the Dumpster leaving a link behind for future reference.
