It's a bug in the Internet and can't be fixed.
No, it was done that way on purpose because it's a hilarious prank.
No wait, it was an intentional dig at Universal Micro Systems.
OK, I can't think of a good cover-up excuse. It's a glitch in the code. I never noticed it because I always click the "Forums" tab on the rare occasions that I'm not already in the forums.
Perhaps Oryan's suggested fix will take care of it so skoker no longer has to suffer.
