They belong to the thread because it's a garbage dump.

Not exactly a garbage dump, but the thread does go through phases. Nearly all the recent posts have been made by spammers, but at times quite a few good illegal positions have been posted. A good illegal position is one that seems likely to be legal and requires a careful analysis to explain why it's illegal. The spammers post positions with both kings in check, more promoted pieces than missing pawns, pawns on the first rank, etc.

Someone should make a position that looks obviously illegal, but upon closer inspection looks legal, but upon even closer inspection is illegal.
