some people in trollbox were saying ppc and ftc. Can't see ppc being removed though.
There was something for sure as news number 163 is missing. cnc news is 164, there is 162 but 163 says news doesn't exist. https://btc-e.com/news/163
I generally don't believe most of what's in the trollbox... but after looking through the trollbox archive, I'm fairly sure this happened. It looks like the first announcement was for TRC, PPC, FTC and CNC, with the same reason, "minimal volume". Which is a bit of a joke seeing as FTC is included in that list but NVC wasn't. It was pulled fairly quickly with no explanation.
