I know I started a thread, don't see it today, was never notified if it was done away with or moved, now I can't find it- could we get some notification when this happens?

It was moved to the Casual Conversation thread and subsequently closed due to some members refusal to play nice.

And no, we simply do not have the time to notify people when we move threads. I would advise you subscribe to threads on which you wish to receive notifications. Here is the help topic on how to subscribe to threads: LINK

Either try Jaime's idea or try to look for it via Google

For example, if you are looking for a topic on the ICC, then type in: "America's Debate: ICC"
