Theres an account titled Master_Chief. He joined 18 Jul 2013 and (currently) has 2 posts. If you go to his profile and click "Find all posts by Master_Chief" it says on the next page "Search found 4 matches". How can there be 4 matches if he only made 2 posts?
One of the posts in the list is a reply to the topic "Favorite unit poll". The reply was made in 2004. How could someone who joined in 2013 make a post in 2004?!

It seems that when searching for posts the forum fails to distinguish between a space character and an underscore - this is why posts from Master_Chief are grouped with those from Master Chief. It doesn't seem to be a major error but it's interesting. Good find!

If you hacked the forums they wouldn't be in the current condition they are. You would have changed something. You'd also probably be banned. The forums are secure. It would take a good hacker to hack them.
You wouldn't be able to make that bug happen by hacking the forums.
