Over 5 years old and this is the first time I'm seeing this thread.

New factoid idea:
"Each 24 word seed covers all possible Bitcoin addresses. Think about what this means for a while, it's truly amazing."

--Knight Hider

Is this really true? I'm guessing the chances of generating a "collision" with a balance-containing address is still infinitesimally small, but never really thought about different seed phrases being able to generate the same address.

And I don't mean to bring up old grudges and derail this thread even further, but I went down a little rabbit hole thanks to this comment:

And since you raised the issue of "milking" the forum: have you ever apologized for the staggeringly bad judgment behind your decision to secretly profit from the forum's funds?

I don't think that OgNasty should've collected airdrops via forum BTC, but collecting and keeping airdrops was not prohibited by the agreement, and the forum has no agreement-wise claim on those coins.

but it's... a bit tacky

a bit tacky is how I would describe what women wear on a night out in Newcastle, using forum funds for personal gain and not mentioning it - it only coming out  when the resident robot did some digging - well that is just plain old grim.
