* A mod or an Admin posts after the 500th post has been reached. Since they are not limited by a topic being closed, they can post for however long they like.
* If multiple users post at the exact same moment, GameFAQs will not register the topic as closed until the messages go through.

Topics have been known to reach tens of thousands of posts from this method. In reference to Board 8, you will see them every so often because we have a couple of regular mods floating about the board. They really aren't a big deal on the board.
