No, they've all been migrated to forums.oracle.com but have new thread id numbers. Also and most unfortunately, the old threads appear to have not been indexed by search engines like Google, so they can't be found by a keyword search.
Here's the thread you were looking for:
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1381497
Not that it helps as it just has a dead link to yet another thread, which may or may not be
this one. But I'm curious. Why are you trying to locate a 6 or 7 year old forum thread?
