...And that's the problem. A level doesn't simply disappear overnight.
Right?
===anomaly===
Levels are destroyed all the time. Level 66, Level 73, Level 76, etc., were disassembled into the void just last month. But every level can have new life breathed into it. Some have been blessed with two incarnations. Some have been gifted rebirth fivefold. Some sevenfold. And some over twenty. And while a level is destroyed, there is no empty space, besides that for a new level to take its place. Any tunnels to that level either crumble as well or bind to the closest level.
But not this one. No remnants, no chances, forever faded. May you come here by choice or sheer un-luck, straight into the void for you. A gaping hole in a level's place.
===entanglement===
It is not far fetched to ponder how this could potentially happen again. What prevents this from spontaneously manifesting upon another level? What if the phenomenon is contagious — with adjacent levels eventually collapsing themselves? How could we combat or at least minimize the impact of irrevocable erasure of a level without any warning sign? 
What if there is a warning sign, like the gradual decay of levels such as Level 0.41 and Level 37.44? What if we simply discovered this level a little too late? The reality of it is, there's not much we can do, besides doing our best to run away. And what if major settlements begin to collapse, too? Will we all be nomads for the rest of time? And if so, how would we publish this? Suddenly, the Backrooms is no longer a challenge but an existential threat to humankind. One that is unavoidable. One that is unpredictable.
===compromise===
We don't have much of a choice, anyways. Combined with the 'invalid' id, simple encryption of the article should allow us to safely 'publish' it. And besides that, there is lots of work to be done. Keeping this under the radar while actively gathering workers will be difficult, but adapting is what we humans do best.
