I just checked and it's deleted here too. I can go back and edit the post and it's still in there, but it's just not shown at all here.
I posted the URL above with spaces in it otherwise it'd get automatically detected as a URL and then still not show up.

Well, it would seem like someone's configured the forum software to censor posts that contain URLs to certain websites. The text is entirely deleted from the HTML sent to the browser. It's still in the post, but the output routine strips it out.
Is this a simple mistake or corporate shenanigans trying to keep users from posting useful material that exists outside the company's forums? Either way it's annoying, fix it.
