Everyone loses some credits when threads we have uploaded are deleted, or threads we have responded to are deleted. That would mean we all lose some credits, but usually not a lot, as you say. How many credits - approximately - did you lose?

Gold coins are the currency of the forum, and they are used to pay for downloads;
30 gold coins per file in most subforums, except in Cross Stitch Repaint, where each file is 199 gold coins.

In addition to the 30/199 gold coins per file - which are the forums download fees - uploaders also may have chosen to charge a fee, which one will also have to pay with ones gold coins in order to download files.

Credit (or points) are not the same as gold coins.

Credits are only used to determine your level (DIY) to collect your hourly bonus and to download certain files with special reading permission.

Gold coins, as mentioned are used to download files.
