Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Then when you've thought they did, 3 years later and they will show up again. Google likes to relive the past occaisionally.

I'd take advantage of google wanting to crawl the pages and put up a page with a 301 redirect to a page that actually exists and has value. That way if there are any links pointing to the page that is gone you can take advantage of any value it may have. -- This message may have been cut off and the rest will only be shown to members.
