I was reading a CodeProject article and noticed that it was marked as deleted; I was surprised as the article was good and looked at the author:
http://www.codeproject.com/script/Membership/View.aspx?mid=2757697[^]
Best article on C#/Database, MVP with 52,752 points.
So, I'm wondering, can there be a good reason for someone to delete his good articles?
(except, of course, account hijacking)

This[^] reply (and the thread) should answer your question.
Not sure if it's a good idea to reference that thread from the Lounge. Please nuke this message if you want.
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

That's quite the most impressive dummyspit I've seen in a good while.
"It's been published for one month and it only got 38 Upvotes" (paraphrasing a bit) was my favourite - I wish most my articles would get that many votes in total.

I like that he has to insist that "the voters are not my friends"

It's probably wrong to make fun of the English of an English-as-a-second-language speaker, but it almost sounds like the 38 up-voters did him a disservice.

After all the fuss went to read the article...What surprises me that so many people found it good! How that? Isn't CP a site 'for those who code'?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I have little time to spare, so I skip articles that seem not to bring me any novelty; and I assume that there are many like me; many asp.net/security experts didn't bother to read the article so it passed as ok for the people that are in the process of learning.

What I want to know is how is it that he still has 37k Author points with zero articles...

Maybe the articles were severely plagiarized and he/she was found out. So he/she deleted them.

You're talking about the Amsterdam red-light district, aren't you? Sure, that's what you're talking about.

Ascii 0x1F is very tricky in Windows Form Application. Try the following:
a.) Place a TextBox on the form
b.) Start the Application and type in e.g. “AACtrl&_BB”. Depending on the keyboard maybe “AACtrl&Shift&_” is necessary.
After this you will see only “AABB” in the textbox!In reality the text contains "AA¬BB"
c.) Select all the text and copy it to clipboard (Ctrl&C)
d.) Paste it in a word document and set word to show also the hidden characters. Now one can see the hidden beast
Crazy++:
Also debugger does show you only “AABB”. But if you have a look to textbox.Text.Length you will see the string has 5 characters.
Is this a well-known behavior and I’m the only who did not know it until now?

Sorry now I see it, it should go under discussions.
Sorry about that
