Goodbye, POPE. You were a good board, while you lasted. It is now . . . time . . .

There is, however, no 'last one.' Nothing ever really ends. A POPE should know that.
65535 is as high as the count goes; that's all. Further messages can still be posted, and no doubt will, but they'll all be assigned the 65535 message number. Various forum features will therefore 'break.'
I hope you aren't counting on a permanent 'final message.' There won't be one.
I, personally, am gunning for message number 1111111111111110 - because it will be the last time a POPE message receives a fully functioning message with its own number.
And, lo! Here it is.
