I'd guess it was either someone you have on STFU or maybe Millie since he made me delete his account a while ago.

What thread is that?

It was on the front (the forum listing page) on the Current Events forum. Sylvus was the last person to post in the forum and I don't have him on STFU.

I think someone did some kind of voodoo magic!

I think someone had written a response to another thread, or that thread that I had posted, and then deleted it.

I've checked out the structure of the database in phpBB before, and the last post information is stored in the forum table as a pointer to a record in the posts table. I'm pretty sure the record containing the author's name and posted date was deleted from the posts table but there was still a reference to that message in the forums table where it says what the last post was. Since it couldn't find it, it displays the default date for time 0 (which was January 1, 1970) and no name. No real issue there, please move along! =P
