Hardest thread disappeared

What happened to the "new" hardest thread? After a post from eleven and my last one (which were the first two posts of page 87), I can see it no longer.

[Edit]: When I try to reach a page in it by following a link from another thread, I get the message "you are not authorised to read this forum".

Same here. Hardest puzzles seem to have been classified.

I just hope someone is making regular backups of the forum and we will not face a massive loss of information as during the previous big crunch (was it 2015 ???).

A few days ago, I tried 'Report this post' on the 1st post of this thread, and it said 'This post has already been reported.'.

Yes, I did report it a few days ago, but received no answer.

weird its completely gone.

No google necessary.
http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/the-hardest-sudokus-new-thread-t6539.html
displays 'The board requires you to be registered and logged in to view this forum.'.
Logging in gives 'You are not authorised to read this forum.'.
The URL is then http://forum.enjoysudoku.com/topic6539.html?forum_uri=the-hardest-sudokus-new-thread
I don't know if this means whether the thread still exists or not.

Hi Denis, Can you send me the last 2 pdfs (for Pages 86 and 87) via PM or other means? Thanks.

I have recovered some recent posts from Google (84, 85, 86/8 posts 22/04/2022 snapshot) and Bing (84, 85, 87/1 post 18/05/2022 snapshot) cache. I only did this today, when I should have done this a few days ago - Bing's page 86 was cached 2 days ago, so has 0 posts!

For my purposes, they'll all need converting to 'Print view' (as when you click on the printer icon at the top-right of the page) - I find that these preserve the hidden blocks, which the pdfs dont unless you've expanded them first before printing/saving.

I've put on my website all the pages I have (from p 69 to 87). I haven't checked again, but I think all the hidden parts had been expanded, so that it should be complete:
