What happened: User AtomicProject, being moderating the Atomic coin (ATOM) thread (
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/closed-1712672), announced a "hardfork by coin swap" at the beginning of December, 2017. This coin swap should be handled by moving coins to a ATOM web-wallet (
https://atomchain.info/) until January, 01 of 2018, and ATOM withdrawal from web-wallet was disabled since beginning of December, 2017.
I deposit my ATOMs to the web-wallet and had noticed that they are gone to another addresses. "Cold storage", I thought. Yeeeeagh, cold storage...
In the first dates of January, 2018 user AtomicProject wrote that coin swap will be extended till 10th of January, 2018. There was some critical posts in thread about it, but it was deleted very fast. Most of posters were outraged by shifting the final hardfork date and by the fact that web wallet withdrawals is still disabled. Unfortunately, I have no screenshots of that.
Then 10th of January came, and date was arranged once again - to the 01th of February, 2018. A lot of angry user posts in ATOM thread were deleted again.
Then in the middle of January, 2018 there was a big pump of ATOM coin, which, I believe, was a main goal of "coin swap" declared by AtomicProject.
People in thread were unhappy because of inability to use their coins during price increase. Messages were deleted.
Then, at last, a February has come, and guess what? Web wallet users can not log into their accounts because of passwords mismatched. Few questions in the ATOM thread were deleted, and then almost all messages after 07 December 2017 were deleted, and then all ATOM thread was closed - no new replies can be left, no info on project, nothing.
I wrote messages on support e-mails and got no answer, so no PM or chat logs present.
Here is another man with the same emotions:

I hope moderators can help me to find deleted messages from the ATOM thread.
