Threads can disappear for a number of reasons. Sales threads can disappear because they have:

a) been moved without a redirect (or a quickly expiring redirect), thus making it seem like they've gone 'poof'
b) been deleted because they are in violation of the rules
c) been deleted because the original poster wanted it removed
d) been temporarily removed until Tran can decide what he wants to do with it

I think that covers 99% of the cases

As for having your threads moved without an infraction, we tend to issue infractions when a thread is posted in an area where it clearly doesn't belong. Such as when the original poster either intentionally puts it in the wrong area or is being lazy and just putting it in 5th gen general -regardless of whether there is a better spot for it elsewhere. However, if it fits where it was posted -but fits better somewhere else, we'll let it slide. That said, if you notice that your threads keep getting moved, you might want to try and put them in a better place before we actually do issue an infraction for "Thread Posted In Improper Forum - Multiple Instances". For future reference, if something is being sold it belongs in one of the sales sections of the site, not a discussion forum.
