In the few months I've been playing, I've only played fortress mode (well, I did adventurer twice just to see and gave up right away due to the amount of info I had to learn just to move, had enough on my plate learning fortress mode!) and I have never once gotten the child snactcher message or attempt.  I have had the kobold thief but it only pops when they get discovered by someone or animals, never once have they stolen anything.   

Goblins only seige me, never attempt to steal babies.  Do they just not do that to players and its only a history/world thing now?
I thought for sure by now I would at least see the kidnapper popup once.  But nay sir, have not.

I haven't hear anything about it not happening anymore.

It probably has more to do with the changes made to sneaking, and it generally being easier to spot (and scare off) anything trying to sneak close enough to your fort to toss a child in a sack.

There've been some threads a while back where people have claimed that since the new army movement and all that is in, they've never seen any ambushes/babysnatchers.  Some people don't even see sieges until a couple of years/decades into a fort's life.

You might be able to find more details via search or the bug tracker.

I see them in adventurer mode.  They even say they're going to town/hamlet/hillocks to liberate children.  :|

They actually say "liberate"?
That's awesome!

Yeah this is why I was asking about it.   Ijust started playing adventure mode and am using my last generated world and fort and the NPC's def have had to deal with kidnappings.  None at my fort though and really what bothered me was I've been playing for a few months of real time, so it's not like I've never given the goblins any chance to try.

Maybe the fort is too poor to interest the gobbos? I don't know.

I think its a legit bug, no parasites in player forts.  Im choosing my first fully-invested fort for 40.19 now, and Ill see.  I gave kobolds mischievous, so it'll be obvious if they come.
