I run a bot script daily that removes all discussion type comments. When things are deleted, be it pages, threads, or comments, they are put into a special "Deleted User Contributions" section for that particular editor, that only admins can see. This isn't "un wiki-like", it's set up that way by Wikia so that regular users don't have to see all the crap we remove (which can include things like spam, and inappropriate things)

But half of the comments were about the actual EDITING of the article. Also, my second comment didn't post. I hit the post or reply button and the page all of a sudden had zero comments. Not the ones about the editing of the article, not the forum type comments and not the one that I'd submitted less than a second ago.

They likely got picked up by the bot for deletion. Not supposed to happen, but it does sometimes. When comments are deleted, they disappear.
