Thanks Ellie - yes, the thread has finally been voted off I suppose.

I think it's probably more just a part of Trade me's new tidy-up.

I think that is just General and Opinions - announcement says
"Note that threads in all the other categories that have not had a new post added within the past year are automatically removed;"
strange??

There had definitely been recent posts there as you can see from Votemenot. Probably just got to 20 people wanting it voted off so away it went. Pity as there were good links there - but they're all over at Votemenot.

Yes they are- but it seems an odd thread to vote off.

From, our perspective, perhaps nfh1. But there was some very "spirited" discussion in there and some people react to certain posters by voting off threads.

...which is why an intelligent way to debate an issue is to stick to the ideas and resist the temptation to do an 'ad hominem'.

I did not discuss in there but regularly read the links, some really interesting stuff sometimes.I cannot see the point in voting it off - surely easier to ignore it altogether.
Oh well - there's nowt queerer than folk I suppose.

So says the Yorkshireman, nfh1 ;)
There's another famous quote from Welshman Robert Owen: "All the world is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer".

If anyone decides to start a new thread, maybe it could have a less confrontational title??And a more appropriate Messageboard for it would be Health & Beauty.

Good to know there were so many fans.

LOL - but I am from the Red Rose County a true Lancashire Lass!
The Robert Owen quote reminded me of my Gran, she used to say that all the time - thank you for the source, I had no idea.

I was most likely the last one to post there about 2 weeks ago - and some people were not happy to have the thread in recipes in the first place - as "health" is not part of recipes and eating obviously. So it has been finally voted off by those people on recipes that didn't like it for a long long time. My posts brought it up to the top again, so it became visible.
Of course it didn't help that the last 3 posts were about low carb diets and cancer growth :)

Anything worth retrieving can easily be found, such as this book description.
'The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest' Author Dan Buettner
QUOTE: National Geographic Explorer Dan Buettner has travelled the globe to uncover the best strategies for longevity found in the Blue Zones: places in the world where higher percentages of people enjoy remarkably long, full lives. And in this book he discloses the recipe, blending this unique lifestyle formula with the latest scientific findings to inspire easy, lasting change that may add years to your life.
You’ll meet a 94-year-old farmer and self-confessed 'ladies man' in Costa Rica, a 102-year-old grandmother in Okinawa, a 102-year-old Sardinian who hikes at least six miles a day, and others. By observing their lifestyles, Buettner's team has identified critical everyday choices.
Family - Family is put ahead of other concerns. No Smoking - Centenarians do not typically smoke. Plant-based diet - The majority of food consumed is derived from plants. Constant moderate physical activity - Moderate physical activity is an inseparable part of life. Social engagement - People of all ages are socially active and integrated into their communities. Legumes - Legumes are commonly consumed. UNQUOTE
