Old posts from early September and answered by someone named BoostaBoosta

But only according to the discussion title. Actually when one goes into the thread, there is no post by BoostaBoosta. Only the last postings from early September.

How can that happen? Just curious.

It's some troll fooling around here and probably banned for the fiftieth time. They deleted her posts, for the most part, so the next response wasn't necessarily the person who brought the thread back up.

Just imagine having the time to do such a thing.

That person commented on a lot of old posts, late last night. I'd guess that all of the posts were deleted for spam. The posts all said the exact same thing.

It surprises me that someone spends the time bringing up the old threads. Why doesn't the Webbie just delete threads after 30 days???

I don't get it...

The person is doing this to thumb their noses at webbie -- look at me, I am back!!

I do agree with removing threads from over 30 days ago.

...or at least close comment after no activity for 2 weeks or more on a thread

ETA: I think sometimes this is someone who wants to bury a current thread

I agree. Thread remorse.

I think it's a regular poster. This seems to be done about twice a year. My pick would be it's her opinion or no opinion but I could be wrong.

Wasn't that one of the many IDs of the Larry/Lucy/Mellie/whateverelse poster who's been trolling here for years?

Anyway, what makes this even worse is that others will respond so even when the troll is eliminated the old threads stay at the top.

It means her post was deleted because it was against standards.

That's just the thing. 450+ posts in a short period of time? My bet is that it's someone who has written program code to pull up and post that same line on threads. They create the account, then trigger the program. What is scary is that I think they use it to test the program access to the site and then while webbie's time is taken up dealing with the posting mess, the hacker works on other code to break into accounts.
