I just discovered that when you link to a thread here on NazNet, the part after the number doesn't matter at all. In fact, you can change it to whatever you want, and the link still works.

I'll come back in a second to illustrate this...

If you go to the top of this thread and grab the link from the thread title, it looks like this:

http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?4820-Interesting-discovery-about-linking-to-threads-here...

But this link works just as well:

http://www.naznet.com/community/showthread.php?4820-hot-NazNet-thread-burns-city-to-the-ground

I think it's part of SEO (Search Engine Optimization). It makes Google search results including threads more information rich.
