   Whatever happened to the thread that gave a free code to the software tool ayrecovery? Its been here less than a day and its missing ! I cannot find it using search. Was there any illegal posting on that thread? (ofcourse, come to think of it, I did post a question on that thread)
   I know, I know that the forum mods are the supreme beings, but still curious why that thread has vansihed.

   It was probably seen as spam. The ID was "ayrecovery", and that was one post out of 2 they made. Both were to promote the same software.

   Spam. That explains it. There was even a thank-you post from a person who apparently grabbed the offer. Their home page looked credible enough! Well, you never know. There can be no one more convincing than a con-man

   Hi folks, I copied the info yesterday and downloaded the software, ran Zonealarm on it for virus and spyware. Seems ok, I haven't installed it yet though.

   Same here, Samm.
   It could be a very useful tool, but I'm a bit leery of installing it, as the registration info is a bit confusing, and mainly, the "site" suggests it'd have to be done during "store" hours, ie:9-5 mon-fri. (Bejing time) . . . is it Monday there yet? or Friday afternoon?
   Never seen that condition before.

   Downloaded and installed it yesterday. No security problems. Really useful, looks and works well. Hope this helps!

   Can the link be re-posted? Or e-mailed?

   My opera browser had saved the page when i quit yesterday and when i reopened Opera the forum page with the link and code was still available to me, so I have made screen shots of it. Dont know whether i am going to make any further use of it.
   If the software looks and works well, i really wonder why that thread had to disappear. May be software vendors are not allowed to giveaway their wares on the forum (without the sites permission). May be it is going to come back as a giveaway some day. Just idle speculation!

    If people want to advertise then they can pay the owner of this site, otherwise it is spam if it comes from a commercial source.
