When you have a moment, would you mind trying again and see if the thread still comes up for that search?
I'm not sure, but I think the thread was likely deleted by the forum mods as part of a clean up process, hence, is no longer available for viewing. It seems though that, as you are/were able to retrieve it via search, this might be a search-related issue. If it was deleted, it should not have come up in your search results.
If I use that string (including the quotes) at the main search at the top, that thread comes up as the 8th and 10th results. If I use the forum search, exactly the same thing happens, as forum search is now doing global searches.
I certainly hope the forum mods aren't deleting threads at all, especially threads such as this, which was about the best Starwood promotion there has ever been. If I'd known there was any chance that FT would start deleting the historical record of exactly what FT is all about, I'd have been making my own backups.
