What's up with this weirdly broken thread?

It keeps getting "new post" notifications, pretty much entirely from spambots, but it says that it's archived and won't display posts other than the first one but still reports six pages of content.

 

Also, I have no idea what a suspicious sounding "Elder Scrolls Torrents" site would be in the first place.

 

Yes, it's seventeen years old but the fact that it keeps making the news category report new posts keeps weirding me out.

All the posts are walls of spam links. Waste of a honeypot to leave the spammers to their spamming.
