What is up with the XX-1/2 post numbers?

[West Texas Chuck]

I can't help myself, I am a nosy person. In the last week or so I have seen two different posters with an XX-1/2 post number, a weird join date, and a FReep name that leads to some YouBoob or Wiki destination.

What the heck is up with this? Check 24-1/2.

Makes me think we are being hacked. I dunno, but that is shennanigans of some sort. I guess I'm just a suspicious person, but abnormal stuff gets my attention.

I think that is just the Viking Kitty overlords trying to send us a message that all your base belong to them.

[mnehring]

Ping, should you let Chuck know about the aliens or let him keep guessing?

[West Texas Chuck]

But I don’t have no bases.

I have Viking Kitties, though, fo sho.

Just a clever posting trick. Watch the handle of the previous poster.

I wouldn’t worry too much about it. It is a trick some people know...

[rlmorel]

I checked your link...don’t worry about it, I know who it is...:) You will see it on occasion, it is not harmful!

[Kirkwood]

You don’t want to know.

[West Texas Chuck]

Oh carp, now I look like a fool.

You kids are over my haid here.

A bored FReeper is a dangerous FReeper...

Does it stune your beeber.... Or are just not logged in?

[iowamark]

Does anybody really know what time it is? Does anybody really care? If so I can't imagine why.

I dunno, but it’s series hugh.

[Semper Mark]

You're scaring people ping. ;-)

[rlmorel]

Ah. You aren’t a fool...I did the same thing a few years ago when I first started to see it...and actually met in person the freeper who does it...it is just a harmless trick, funny sometimes, and above my head how it is done too.

[West Texas Chuck]

OK, I’m a n00b at HTML, you guys are making fun of me.

I was paranoid, prolly still am, I didn’t realize you could hack stuff like that and not be the enemy.

My stune is on beeber, it is hugh and series, but y’all are a bunch of homos anyway ;)

Sometimes I stop to think, and then forget to start again.

Fags. But I lurve all of ya. Sorta.

It’s just creative HTML tagging. It’s one post made to appear as two. The apparent post with the “1/2” is actually part of the following post; they are one post.
