I've never posted in that thread, but I voted 'Yes' just so the damn thing can get to 10,000 and die already.

That is one thing that I always wanted it to do, but once we got close Evo got the idea of deleting posts. I think it is some sort of problem with the forum: Greg told Evo to keep the number of posts less than 10,000 or the forum would crash, and so Evo has been slowly deleting all of yomamma's posts in it to make sure that it does not pass the mark :smile:
