Many posts in this thread have been deleted around the 10k posts mark, and also earlier. Fearing that those could have been used as evidence?
As for 2 years of jail humbling a guy, I don't think so. Just makes him bitter and revengeful, possibly more cautious.
Most of the posts around 10,000 were people posting "10,000!!!!", trying to be one of the people on the 10,000th page.
But then those that missed it started deleting their old posts so that their post would be on page 10,000. This went on for about 3 days straight.
