      I think it’s a modification of “360 noscope” which is a gaming term for an unexpected change in a game stemming from fps games like counter strike. The term basically relates to a high skill/high luck shot usually involving a quick rotation and/or flick shot, where you didn’t use the scope of the weapon to help improve accuracy, but made the shot anyways.

      Basically saying it was a highly unlikely outcome…

      The “nopost” which replaces “noscope” is probably their way of referencing the above while making it relevant to the context (a post).

      I’ll admit, the words, taken at face value, do not make a lot of sense. The entire thing relies on a general understanding of the 360 noscope meme.

        Thank you!

        Also, if I’m not mistaken, this is (at least) the second time you’ve replied to me when I didn’t understand a comment, and done it in such a way to make things very understandable. Can you just follow me around explaining things to me? It’s extremely helpful!

          Ha. That’s just how I am. I didn’t notice that I did that.

          I appreciate the kind words, fellow lemming, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
