It wasn't there in Google's latest cache either.
That's a pretty nasty glitch.

Oh God that's not good :O. If it's a glitch then how did it happen?

i think the user is just a commercial spammer because i entered their name into google and found several other places where their post(s) made no sense at all
but still it's funny how a bot manages to get into the archives but no human has been able to so far

Dang it, I'm afraid we're gonna have to turn off the old archives, folks.
It's taking too much time - and it's a bad security problem. Any old web stack - but especially a PHP web stack - needs constant updating and maintenance to protect it from newly discoverd security holes. We just don't have the bandwidth to manage ye olde archives, keep ‘em secure, and do all the zillion other things we do.
Take your screenshots now, folks! We’ll have to hold a funeral for ye olde forums tomorrow.

Ah…. Well, I am just wondering, and i am sure there's a good answer and i am just ignorant, but why is it a problem if a program can get in a post a stupid topic on a no longer used thread? Posting inappropriate stuff? Dang it, I'm afraid we're gonna have to turn off the old archives, folks.

SEO spam. They make money because their spam is on an EDU site, and it increases their page rank in google searches. We aren't cool with that.
This is not the only exploit against old unpatched PHPs either.

The Wayback Machine will only have what it currently has.
