Haven't seen Mensch in the past few days either. I know there have been a few serious dust-ups around here lately, with threads being deleted and such. I hope they weren't blocked in the midst of any of that.
Check the members list to see if they are still on. Menschis still around as I have seen posts from her
Where's Mensch, cause now that you mention it, I haven't seen her either. In fact a few people.
actually having just looked it has been a few days since Mensch posted on the thread I saw. I hop ethey have not gone the same way as so many others
This is the link to indydeb's profile page and I found her pictures.

indydebi.. was not on the thread ,sunday, that got deleted. i can,t remember all that was on there, but i read it all. then it was gone. there were probably 7-8 people. i can remember a few. but not all.
Do you think the CCers on that post got deleted too??? That would be a shame! I loved their posts!
Don't know what happened on Sunday, but FINALLY got an e-mail from Deb. So glad she wrote, cause I lost her e-mail address. She says she got booted, doesn't know why, and please don't think she is ignoring your PM's, she is just not on C.C. anymore. Dang, now I wish I was here on Sunday.
WOW.......that is NUTS!!! What a shame...that thread was actually interesting, and one of the more thought-provoking ones I've read in a while. I do hope people did not get booted because of it - I don't think anyone was 'out of line' enough for such drastic action. Let's hope it was an error???
I've been getting emails from some members who said that their accounts were deactivated yesterday. Is there a reason that they actually were, or is there a technical glitch going on? None of these people ever posted anything objectionable (IMO) and were pretty frequent members who gave a lot of advice to other people, so I'm wondering what happened.
yes several people were deactivated yesterday, yes we had reasons for those deactivations, but it would be inappropriate to make public statements about any individual's account status.

HTH
I didn't see that thread either. But I have noticed the missing faces.
Edited to add:
I would very much like to know what the heck happened! I know the people that got booted were super helpful and I can't imagine what was said/done that could've gotten them booted. I don't think it's being snoopy really on my part. I don't want to step on the same grenade and get booted myself! I generally back out the door when I enter a heated thread, but if there was something I felt super passionate about I would like to think that voicing my opinion wouldn't result in me losing access! But then, i have no clue what happened on the thread in question, maybe it IS something I would comment on?
Acceptable behavior at CakeCentral.com
Ladies and Gentlemen of CakeCentral:
Over the last month or so there has been an unsettling increase in the volume and frequency of petty bickering in the forums.
This behavior is completely unacceptable and against the spirit of Cake Central.
The moderators and administrators are fed up with trying to keep up with this ugliness and trying to keep the peace.
Quite frankly, Heath and I are disgusted with the behavior of a handful of members and we are putting an end to it.
Consider this message fair notice to everyone. The leniency is over. We are going to start banning any member we feel is starting problems, provoking others, making snide remarks, or insulting other members.
I don't care if we have to ban 1000 users if that is what it takes to get this community back to focusing on cakes instead of inter-personal drama.
We are all supposed to be here to talk politely about cake, support each other, and lend a helping hand.
If you don't agree with someone, by all means.... disagree, but do it respectfully.
If someone asks for your constructive criticism, then give it... constructively.
If you find yourself unable to write a post, PM, or response in a constructive, encouraging or supportive way then you need to walk away.
Remember, this community is based on values of caring, and generosity of spirit.
Focus on what you share in common, learn from what makes you different, support each other through struggles, and celebrate each others' success.
