Several key historical threads in Indie Game Design (the Fastlane threads, Nicotine Girls, and a few others) have -1 listed as "total posts" and are inaccessible. From an archival perspective, this is really sad.

Ben,
Are you sure you're not seeing ghosts? I wonder if those topics were re-located to the appropriate Independent Game Forum. For example, there is a nicotine girls (http://www.indie-rpgs.com/forum/index.php?topic=2214.0) topic in the Half Meme Press forum that carries the same dates and the same start and ending posters as the one in the Indie Game Design forum with the -1 total posts. Ditto for the early Fastlane topics in the Twisted Confessions forum. I'm pretty sure those topics pre-date the existance of the independent forums.

Ahh... that makes a lot of sense. Thanks! Clicking the link does give a blank page, though. Rather unsettling.
