I've just noticed that user Icecream has deleted all of her posts, and edited all threads she started to remove any text from her.
For example, I had these threads bookmarked as they were excellent, but now they're gone:
http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=4015
http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=3591
Also the Ask Magamo thread is confusing to read, as she's deleted all of her contributions (thankfully magamo uses quotations):
http://forum.koohii.com/viewtopic.php?id=4838&p=1
There are countless other drama threads that I constantly found useful but are now are lost.
It's a real shame; I understand if you want to remove personal information from this site, but why remove threads related to Japanese learning, especially considering how many people took the time and effort to respond. Sure she has her reasons, but still a pity

The only reason for such a drastic move is abuse from the community. I didn't see anything happen to her, but I've definitely been verbally (character-ally?) attacked on this site. There's no room for that, no matter what you think of someone or their posts.
It's possible that she was harassed by IM and that's why it seems like it happened out of the blue.
Slow rage quits are a problem on other boards, too, and I've actually seen forums go so far as to put things in place to prevent it, rather than prevent the actual problem.
Also, it's possible she got hacked and isn't doing it.

She said in a post a couple of weeks ago something akin to the fact that for practical reasons Japanese will never be able to play a super-big role in her life, and it's just not worth all the effort. She said that she's going to stop studying new stuff, but do a little to keep up a bit with some of what she already learned. (I hope I'm getting the jist of it right--I hate it when people misquote me, haha)
It could just be that she's made a decision and did it to make sure she would stick with the decision?
I have her real e-mail, I believe. Maybe I should send her an e-mail and make sure everything's alright?

I find that hard to believe; this is one of the safest forums I've ever been on! Any trouble instantly results in ban/thread-lock, fabrice is a responsible admin.

She didn't delete them all. She still has 1831 posts under her profile. She mainly deleted the posts on threads she started it seems.
No, she deleted them all. Her profile says 1831 because that's how many she made, but if you click that link, you'll see that she deleted all the posts that weren't thread starters, and blanked out the ones at beginnings of threads.
The only posts she didn't modify were the ones in locked threads, which she probably couldn't modify.
