Finally figured it out. It was ~SeptimusHeap cutlisting the Playing With page for that trope. In the cutlist code it does this: delete from launches where title=?.

So whenever someone cutlists a page belonging to a trope, it removes it from the launches table, which is obviously pretty dumb if its not the actual trope page. So im sure this has lead to hundreds or even thousands of tropes being mistakenly removed from the launches table over the years. I think this finally solves the mystery of the disappearing launches.

okay this should now be fixed moving forward to prevent anymore launches from disappearing.
