Is that the same as “not non-productive”?

All Threads are now 'PRODUCTIVE'.
The non-productive gate is no longer accessible. Threads in it appear to be effectively gone. So, a few babies may have been thrown out with the bathwater. Is this the good news; or do you know how to access suppressed information? I tried looking for specific threads and could not find them.
For example, this thread;
https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=34132.0
was started to introduce a new PCP airgun with a novel valve system. It was immediately shut down and sent to the non-productive gate because the word
airsoft
appeared in the topic description.
The thread below was started by the same forum member as the closed thread above:
https://www.gatewaytoairguns.org/GTA/index.php?topic=154434.0
it features an airsoft replica M24 that has been converted into a PCP. Here are sample videos showing this rifle's 1 MOA performance at 200 yards, and shots taken at 1400 yards:
I don't care if a PCP stated life as an airsoft gun, or was made by an airsoft company. If it shoots this impressively, in my opinion the thread topic deserve to live.
I am not suggesting that deleting entire threads is not sometimes appropriate. Obviously the GTA forum staff have the discretion to delete whole threads. However, there is a risk of throwing out valuable information that happened to be in a thread deemed expendable. I appreciate how much work it is to filter and retain such information, but summarily deleting it may discourage people who put the effort to generate, compile and share useful information.
The concept of
forum ownership
needs to be seen alongside the concept of
forum contribution
. Neither can stand without the other.

It wasn't tossed out it was just hidden from the public. The admins can access it at anytime when and if needed. The NON productive gate is bay far the least used and accessed part of the GTA and probably for a good reason as it holds all the threads that have been spoiled one way or another and we have determined its a eye-sore and only holds negativity and skeletons so its now going to be used much the same way as before except its simply not visible. I would bet 95% of the forum hasnt even noticed its gone. Im sure it will upset some people but you cant please everyone and If you try you just end up making everyone unhappy.
