This has happened to me as well. My theory is that if a thread goes dormant, ie. no new replies for a period of time, it gets archived and we loose
subscriptions, but again, thats just my theory as I have never seen another explanation.
Subscribed Threads just "dropping off?", page 1

Normally I would agree, but these are threads I created, and they are only a few weeks old. I've had threads sit dormant for a few weeks, but haven't had them just disappear the way these did. I have them back by posting a reply on them, but couldn't get them back by any means other than that. It just seems weird they just vanished.
At least they weren't 404'd though

Yes, threads drop off the list in MyATS after a period of no activity. I'm not exactly sure
after how long - 30 days perhaps?
You can still access (and manage) your subscribed threads via Subscriptions or view your posts/threads via your profile.

Looks like I'm not the only one who has been inactive. Has anyone noticed how boring it has been recently?

I think I noticed that also.
Quiet before the storm?

Maybe. Although if you go to the Tools dropdown then hit Subscriptions, everything you've subscribed to and not unsubscribed from will be there. The only way to get them out of there is to unsubscribe them. After a period of dormancy, they'll drop off My ATS and will resurface if there's updated activity.

Oh, very bizarre!
I am familiar with that subscription link but after checking it out upon you mentioning it, I see threads I am apparently still subscribed to from long ago that are no longer on myATS list.
Very cool! Thanks. So I guess they DO drop off from myATS list after a certain amount of time.

Well I worked it out that the threads I had created, two of my entries for the writing contests were done around the fifth of May, making them about 15 days since they had been created. I only have about 10 or so at any time in the list, so I am at a loss as to why they jusy suddenly went awol. The only thing, as Gemwolf said, is the fact they must have a time limit on how long they are there before they drop off due to inactivity, that limit must be around the 15 day mark.
I'm the same as you though, once a thread becomes stagnant, I usually take it off the list, so as not to flood the page with threads that have stalled.
