Wanna know something funny? The search engine will give you results for deleted spam threads.
Apparently, the board's search engine periodically adds new threads to its index, which then remain unchanged in that index. That's why if you misspell a name in a thread title, and then some time later go back and make the correction, the corrected version doesn't make it into the search engine's index. Only the misspelling can be found via a search. A search on the correct spelling will not turn up in the search results. Same for deleted threads. They have already been included in the search index and will be there in perpetuity.

May have stumbled upon something related to the cause of the effect:
A. The entity “Last Child” has been expunged, evidently. B. All posts started by LC have gone kaput. B. All board-wide entries of LC have been deleted. C. I’ve clicked on threads in which I replied to LC and some of them do the “glitch.”
Not the same thread; in fact, the one that is glitched is cited in your link. Here is that glitched thread (as linked in entry numero dos above) via archive:
Per OP, click on the link there and the link I just posted and all they do is send you to today's main page. The question is are all the threads with this glitch web-archived a la defunct websites, as in the example provided following the OP link, or are they retrievable from somewhere out in the live and well FSM universe.
I tried to see if this latest thread link is archived on the web and it is!
