Something weird going on in the forum archives

I forgot about zippy and his goal of ending his career at exactly 9999 posts. Anyone know who he came back as? 😛

Anyway, at least on my machine, it shows me as editing my post in this thread, tonight, at 11:30 pm 6/13/2005. WTF? I most certainly did not touch the edit button. Also, it shows Zippy as editing his post at the very same time, yet he hasn't visited since 7/2004. What the heck is up with that? Did the cosmic rays line up at the just the right moment, for myself and Zippy to both be viewing the exact same thread!? :Q

That IS weird. I plan to stop at 31337 for one day. Or maybe forever. Who knows? It's years and years away.

Good luck. At this rate it'll take you...about 3 more years. Have fun!

There was some bug in the forums. I remember it was discussed in forum issues and he said there was nothing he could or would do about it. So it remains. Anything edited during a certain period of time in the archives is screwed like that.
