    I was reading a CodeProject article and noticed that it was marked as deleted; I was surprised as the article was good and looked at the author: http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=2757697[^] Best article on C#/Database, MVP with 52,752 points. So, I'm wondering, can there be a good reason for someone to delete his good articles? (except, of course, account hijacking)

      This[^] reply (and the thread) should answer your question. Not sure if it's a good idea to reference that thread from the Lounge. Please nuke this message if you want. :~

      Your time will come, if you let it be right.

        It would appear that he got into a strop: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/4980489/Re-Article-ranking-calculation.aspx[^] And has taken his ball and gone home!

            That's quite the most impressive dummyspit I've seen in a good while. "It's been published for one month and it only got 38 Upvotes" (paraphrasing a bit) was my favourite - I wish most my articles would get that many votes in total.

                After all the fuss went to read the article...What surprises me that so many people found it good! How that? Isn't CP a site 'for those who code'?

                    I have little time to spare, so I skip articles that seem not to bring me any novelty; and I assume that there are many like me; many asp.net/security experts didn't bother to read the article so it passed as ok for the people that are in the process of learning.

                            It's probably wrong to make fun of the English of an English-as-a-second-language speaker, but it almost sounds like the 38 up-voters did him a disservice.

                            Life is like a s**t sandwich; the more bread you have, the less s**t you eat.

                              Maybe the articles were severely plagiarized and he/she was found out. So he/she deleted them.

                              If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
                              You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
                              Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein
