The fact that it's Blowie is the more surprising bit. Snowy was never one to engage in the more technical side of things.
Someone else using it as a throwaway? Also, getting notifications for each reply in the thread, which isn't supposed to happen? And the thread doesn't come up in "New Posts".
Unless you have it watched, it shouldn't happen. The fact it is odd and it's odd futher more that it's not lighting up in newest posts when new posts are present. This is defiantly a hack.
You're tellin' me. Though I'm sure it can get fixed one we get the right people to look into it. This cannot last for long and I'm sure the person who did this will get banned for it.
I mean, in order to use it as a throwaway you need to either create an account with the same name (which you can't, I tried back in my day), or you need to unban it. Neither of those seems feasible for anyone without admin panel access.
It seems to only show up last when you make a new post. When I first opened the topic it wasn't there, but after I started typing I got the alert that there was a new post in the topic and it was last again.
Honestly, I wouldn't even be surprised. Whoever it is, though, they are pretty correct in thinking they won.
That's exactly what's going on to all of us. Mostly anyway. It doesn't change that it's still popping up.
