Weirdness in comments on Cecil's columns

[Hanna]

There’s a few threads in there that have no new resposes but are coming up as having new responses.
like this one.

What’s going on? I feel like I’m in the twilight zone.

Hi Boscibo,

There was an individual who posted to some old threads, and that “bumped” the thread up to the top of the page. Unfortunately the individual had nothing meaningful to post, but he/she did this to several threads - which I believe is pretty much “being a jerk” - voilation of rule #1.

I believe the individual was removed from the boards and the posts were deleted - but the threads themselves are still there, bumped up like there was a recent post.

I hope this helps!

Thanks,Lost! That would explain it.

That’s the story exactly.

Some things are not worth giving house room to; we need the electrons for something more meaningful, like, say, a 100 post party.
