this occurred prior to our server upgrade, when the server resources were maxxed out leading to corruption of the boards database tables, including the stats table. i recall that these database corruption occurred during those dark times when tsikot was experiencing successive periods of downtime.
this was one of the reason why we have to undergo the painful server upgrade, which saw tsikot.com disappearing from cyberspace for a period of 7 - 8 days.
so our apologies for these skewed stats results. its better we just look at them as sources of amusement and not of thread popularity.
