(EDIT: had to munge it to get past b3ta's filters -- in the Bounds line, replace Z with less-than-sign and X with greater-than-sign)
seems to work after very light testing with three slight issues...
1. the alternating backgrounds for alternating posts no longer alternate around the killed post
2. replies to killed posts are still visible
3. these replies now appear to be replies to entirely different posts (although, in a nicely cyclical way, issue 1. will help you spot if this has happened)

I just wonder if you realise that we will have all seen the spam now and we will have either gone there and decided not to go again or gone there and bookmarked it.
you should just put your web link in your profile, your username if you must and get photoshopping/messaging like a normal person and then people will be more interested and less hostile and you might make some new friends.

...that spamming your site in every single post is going to get exactly the opposite reaction to the one you are intending.
Most of us will deliberately not click a link that is being spammed in that way - if you were to join in and simply link to the site from your profile, we would probably happily have a look.
Carry on if you like, but you'll probably find that your account gets suspended pretty soon.

Hello all. After years of reading the B3TA blather I have finally dragged my figurative ass off the pages and into the message board.
So - here I go. This is my first post, and it's pretty shit. Not looking like a good start is it? Oh well - lets hope things continue.
