Actually, I doubt there will be much time for celebration during the mass confusion of the Moral Minority's infocalypse.

That's right, little Marshall. The programmers who created the software behind the Moral Minority never expected the site to last long enough to generate 1000 threads.

To save space, they encoded the thread id with a 3-digit number.

When the writers attempt to create thread number 1000, the id value will "roll over", causing unpredictable results and, presumably, mass destruction.

Sure, Area 23 could pay their programmers to try to go through the literal miles of "spaghetti code" in order to avoid the upcoming cataclysm, but that would be highly costly.

Besides, there's most assuredly not enough time left, considering that this is thread number 999, and the next thread is due to be published tonight at midnight.
