Heh, it took them absolutely years to fix the "view 20 posts" on a page, so I very much doubt this was ever fixed. If anything, it was probably more a technical limitation due to them using a 16bit signed int for the post counter. I very much doubt they'd re-write this just to satisfy the very occasional mega-thread like this :)
How great is it to see so many people in here that we haven't seen for ages. Completely understandable that people get busy and don't post, but this was my favourite place to visit every day for the longest time and I miss you guys! Glad everyone is saying hello.
I recall needing to have a link to a pre-32,768 post in our sigs for replies to work.
Do I also remember pinking being a thing? Exploiting bugs to make entire threads pink - perhaps as part of offensives against hostile forums?? Mikeee had a hand in that IIRC.
It was code in the signature that overlaid the reply button with a link to a thread on npcff. I seem to remember a lot of people getting very pissed off - posts were made in random forums (parenting, pet advice, all sorts of stuff) and it was HILARIOUS.
the ones that took it in good spirits were nice though.
I think I was involved the second time we did it, I remember me and Xen and Andee and maybe some others coordinating it all over MSN or something like that. And I got briefly banned for it too, goddamnit.
I think I first met a bunch of y'all at (quite possibly) the first meat, at the Founders Arms. I think (though I may be wrong) that Truffy was there, and I think that's the one where Milko's unusually sized arms were first pictured; though thinking about it, that photo might've been taken at a later meat.
