I think you got it mixed up with the [RETARD] tag.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	Before they changed the servers, weren't we meant to wipe our PMs?

Pyrogasm	I have 65527 unread messages. Your number is 2^16 - 1, but I doubt it's anything special. My number is 1111111111110111 in binary, but again I don't think it's anything significant.

Vexorian	I think the problem is that perhaps the counters for some people are wrong, so there are 10 messages but the counter says 9. If they would clean their inbox, vB would think they got 10 messages less which will lead to an underflow and become -1 but the counter is unsigned so it gets 0xFFFF
