Who can say why on the necro, but it does show the unicode thing I mentioned elsewhere...

You can see it in the posts quoted above, which have the symbols ’ instead of the ' character. It's all over the place in the older threads, and in a lot of the older thread titles. I think it must have happened when the boards went down shortly after launch in Aug - like restored, but with a different encoding?

Quote
It's a ’ (RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK - U+2019) character which is being decoded as CP-1252 instead of UTF-8. If you check the Encodings table of this character at FileFormat.Info, then you see that this character is in UTF-8

And if you check the CP-1252 code page layout at Wikipedia, then you'll see that the hex bytes E2, 80 and 99 stand for the individual characters â, € and ™.
