Most likely due to incorrect use of intergers/longs etc in the program that reports the size and the number has wrapped into a negative (i.e too big to fit the data type used).
Nothing new, just bad programming.

That's not actual size. It's actually an average of resonable posts to moronic posts in OTW, positive numbers being resonable, negative being moronic.
