Good, I'm not the only one noticing prob's

Sssssh, maybe has to do with long threads, which I think they may have been checking out

WORD GAME is back:bounce:bounce:bounce

Yeah, I wrote a program which grovels the database for posts which have a thread ID with no matching thread record.

These posts are orphaned and you can't access them unless you know how.

So once found, the code creates a new dummy placeholder thread record (which is why it has the strange title), and re-attaches all posts with the same ID to that dummy thread.

There are still some 810 orphaned posts, but they're all single post threads (ie no one replied), so I think they're of limited interest.
