That's ok! My bad for improper tag closing. Thanks for fixing it!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My pleasure.

And the sub-destroying bug should be gone now.

Um... sadly, no. Still no message center.

Sorry -- your subs are gone forever. It's just that they won't ever be killed again.

Sorry again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I heart the message I got when I tried to post in the closed thread. Cute and nice.

Just like us.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I thought we fixed the thing where people could still post in a thread that hit 10,000.

Yeah, me too. I'm going to have to look into that.

Again, it's a race condition. New posts can arrive concurrently during the time that you're verifiying that your own post # is less than 10000. You can't completely prevent it short of locking the database while you check. Which would slow the board down considerably.

But they didn't really arrive concurrently. 10,005 was posted 13 seconds after 10,000.
