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.
Wasn't 'the Castle' a target of that jolly jape?
Also, the extraordinary trick of causing replies to one thread to appear in a completely different one.
TAK did that the most, he posted lots of questions in different Delphi forums and had them all reply on NOTPCFF.
Haha, what? You could reply to a post in one forum and it would appear in a different one?
They obvously didn't expect that many posts in a thread, like Youtube and 2 billion views.
Those were the days. Was there ever a PCF team fortress server or something, ISTR something about that
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.
Ahaha. That's daft being able to cover up the reply button. Clever :) I don't remember that but remember the pinking.
Think it was the same technique as pinking. Back in teh days before user HTML was properly sanitized :'D
