"Active forum topics" disappeared from the right margin of the page. (I suspect the masthead was gettin' jealous, in at least some cases like the Hannity & Colmes text-phone-poll biased-lie/incompetence bust [0]!!) Or maybe didn't want to discuss finances now that -- despite massive media bias & endless whining about him -- Ron Paul has done-well.
Or maybe there's another explanation for the mysterious disappearance, but I sure found it more-useful than some of the other sections, which remain despite being boring where "Active Forum Topics" was interesting.
