You may look at the adress fro this forum and see the #21952 in the space. What if I change the value of that number to a thread that has not been created yet?(#99999) You get a Thread with no title, posts or anything else, other then a box to make posts. If I post in one of these things, will something bad happen? Is this a potential risk for the site?

i just tried it - it just deletes itself

Yup. We're safe.

Also, while it deletes your post, it still won't let you make another legit post for 30 seconds.

Good... I was getting worried about this.

EDIT: it's like some strange place, where posts dissapear, and where the perma-banned walk the forums! 

No, it does't delete itself, check my profile and click on teh "view all posts" link under the list of my previous posts.

you do realize once we reached our 99,999th thread your "test" post will be up there, lol

Uh-oh... I wrote some crazy rumours on that post...lol

Let's test the theory: someone needs to make a post on thread 21955....then someone needs to make a couple test threads til we get there. We'll see if anything shows up.

Edit...I posted there.  Let's see what happens.

^^ the next thread to be used is 21953

This should be interesting to see what happens.
