That's part of the anti-adblock system. There are a random number of fake posts before and after the ad area. They'll be hidden unless you turn off CSS. Disabling CSS is extremely unusual, so I don't consider it to be an issue.

The number is the unix timestamp when the page was generated.

I prefer Zakir over Muhammed when mentioning me!
Yeah, that is some sort of a bug, the highest user is Phinnaeus Gage with 21422 posts. Off Topic: Speaking of which, he hasn't been on since 2014, did he leave the forums or something?
He put up his account as collateral for a loan from BurtW. He is now posting from Gleb Gamow (?) plus apparently a few others.

I don't know if he has any other alts but Gleb Gamow is his. BurtW was arrested[1], so the account can't be retrieved as it is used as collateral for the loan and repayment to user-desired address isn't possible.

@QuickSeller , but BurtW is arrested and probably not coming back so Collateral for who exactly now ?

I was wondering also , so I searched a little bit , found this link : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/phinnaeus-gage-aka-bruno-kucinskas-debt-paid-7192014-667460  , That thread mention BurtW too , maybe they were friends or family or something and both of them got arrested ?
EDIT : nvm , just saw Quickseller post . Glad to know .

Probably a Visual bug , because there is no such account on the forums . Those are the top ten posters on the forums and none of them have more then 21k posts as you can see :

If you look at some of the threads here using Google's cache and turn off all images, you regularly see posts made by a hero account called "1424241872" which has 1,424,241,872 posts.

I'm curious. Who or what is this, and what is the purpose of this odd account? And why does it only show up on Google's cached pages but never elsewhere?
