That's actually the .topic, not the .msg (message). So that's actually not the 10,000 or 100,000th message.

Break down of the URL (after visiting the page and viewing the link URL):

http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,10000.msg46589.html#msg46589

topic,10000 = The Topic, which is a new post or thread.
.msg46589.html = The Post (which is what we're looking for). So in this case it's actually the 46,589th post.
#msg46589 = The bookmark link to the message on the page.

Well... er... back to my searching, then I suppose.

can't seem to find any other ones- it might be in a forum I can't access- such as the moderator or spam forum?

Spam and trash folder are often emptied. So it it happened to be in one of those sections it's likely gone.
