Was there any discussion around suspect software, ripping or any other copyright issues?

One of the mods may have removed it. I cant even see the thread anymore.

Either that or somebody just stuffed up!

The user who started the thread has has his ass banned for being a spammer and the thread was moved to the "deleted threads" forum (hidden) to keep the spam at bay while we work out what to do with it.

It looks like somehow YOUR post got hijacked and another user edited the first entry and put in some spam links.

Does that mean the thread is gone? I got the message just then as well when I went to post a reply.

The original thread of Tronador's is still there....i suspect you are watching and posting on this suspect OP's thread instead of your own and then a couple days later (today) it has been hidden/deleted.
