Of course I'll be there
I'm not sure about your particular forum software, but on our fishing forum we set up a sub-forum called "Garbage Can" and all deleted threads and posts go there as a permanent record. it's only viewable by logged-in Mods and Admin. Threads and posts can be moved back to the main forums again for public consumption if needed. We had one moderator who used to accidentally "pocket moderate" on his smart phone, so it came in handy to be able to restore deleted members, posts, threads, entire sub-forums....
Thats too bad you cant make it. I heard Andy was buying shots this year.
