What's going on with the voting on that? Two people have voted 1 but no comments except yours - I thought comments were mandatory for votes below 3?
I don't think it should be removed simply because the tech is outmoded - it's not harming anything and he found it interesting, someone else might from a playing about point of view. Also, we'd need to remove a swathe of actually old articles to stay consistent, potentially losing some good stuff.
My fourpennyworth worth anyway.

One of the hints to the moderators says "Could the article help someone in their day-to-day work?" - in case of this article I doubt it very much. But you are right, it can be potentially interesting to someone so it's better to let the community judge that.
Re the voting, you are right the comment should be mandatory AFAIR. But when I voted the box didn't show up. So I added the comment manually. As you can see my comment doesn't even have the "My vote X" title.

Is there a specific reason this forum is kind of "hidden" and not part of the navigation list of the other forums?
There are several "reports" of articles rather being tip/tricks here (or other issues) that don't get discussed or being acted upon by enough members to change anything. Which would probably be different if this forum wasn't hidden like it is.
I'm aware that this forum requires a certain reputation to be accessible but that should also be possible to implement in the navigation list. Has this been discussed already or would it be a sensible suggestion in Bugs&Sugs?

I agree that it's pretty hidden and should be more visible. I think having a "Moderators' Forum" icon left to your name in the top bar (if you have enough rep) would work to send more traffic here. (And it probably should be hide-able so people can hide it if they don't like to have it there)

I'm certain it's because the automated blog-pulling fails to filter it out (or maybe doesn't even attempt to). I'm constantly clicking the "Format/Layout issues" option when moderating but apparently others don't see it or don't bother, so the author doesn't get prompted to remove it. But as it's not a working link/script any more I don't think it's critical. Maybe you could make a suggestion in Bugs&Sugs to improve the blog-pulling to handle this.

Type Safety in .NET[^] is listed in the March "Everything Else" article contest.
I think it is at best a tip.

Why would they be abusive? I don't see anything wrong.

The user might have deleted his message after he posted it. But it does not look abusive to me.

I have no idea why it's downvoted, and who downvoted it.

Might be due to caching. Also, sometimes a message does not immediately appear, when it needs to go through message moderation because CP's filter saw it as spam/abusive. If it's not spam/abusive, the Protectors can approve it.

That's right, I am with you. These are normal messages but somehow voted down:
example 1[^]
example 2[^]
Also, the other email message I posted earlier looks normal. Not anything wrong to filter

Normal users cannot see who downvoted; sometimes random downvotes like this happen. Not very much to do about it, but also not very harmful.
