Hi @technonath I can explain what's happening: we have been slowly archiving posts from the start of this discussion forum, which was November 2016 through 2019 (I think right now we're up to May or June 2019). We do that because some of the older posts offer solutions or comments that no longer apply to the current version of the product, which is continually updated. If users have a similar question to those that have been archived, we hope they will create a new post in the discussion forum so that the information that's discussed is more relevant and reflects the current feature-set and condition of the product.
[I'm surprised that Google and Bing, etc still show archived posts but I don't know how that works).

I am really disappointed by this. By all means tag it with a disclaimer "This thread may contain information that is out of date or superseded" and lock it, but don't just remove this useful information.
Here are some other examples that have been removed and I am pretty sure that the information discussed in them has not changed that much, it feels like you have just indiscriminately removed random topics.
