The Blah Blah Blah thread seems to have mutated into a blank, no name, no poster thread. My bet is that if happened around 254 or so posts due to the program only using a byte for count. Go over that number, and POOF!

So the "Blah Nazis" finally got their wish ... how sad.
The last number I saw was 253.
So, Darkstar, should this be labelled the P.25K bug (Post 1/4 Kilo)?
