Well i guessed what you had done :)
I doubt i was the first person to poke around the HTML.
There are a couple of very old posts from Smitty in space 2.
True, but it still could've gone a number of ways. I could think of at least two other ways to hide a topic (which I'm not going to reveal now, I might use them some other time).
When I insert anything-point-five (1.5, 2.5 etc.) I get taken to the same untitled forum which has five pages of threads in it. What's that all about? Is that some sort of junkyard?
EDIT: It works with any decimal.

That is because it's not actually space 2.5. The forums exist within a range of 0 to 255, but if you enter a range that is not an integer numeric value, it will jump to space number 0. This happens basically whenever there is a 'mistake' in the forum-number, usually when an extra character is accidentally typed in the address bar of your browser after the number of the forum.
For instance, if you enter a slash after a forum-number or type a letter instead of a number, it will take you there.
I guess it's the default value, so yeah, you could call it a junkyard. I think it's probably the cause of every post or topic that has ever strangely vanished on QZ.
