Hi B,
I am not sure, as the webmaster informed me, that the site was hit by a bot attack, so, he had to fix it. Perhaps as a matter of course correction, older stories had to be removed, as they were corrupted?

No worries, it was the poor webmaster dealing with all these issues. If anyone deserves your pity, it is him. 🙂
