So, I was going through the old CC ports from TO thread (https://forums.terraria.org/index.php?threads/creation-compendiums-1-18-ported-over.1621/), and I encountered what I believe to be a strange bug.
What appears to be happening is that old images are being replaced by more recent ones. Two examples I've found being:
The first is from Creation Compendium #8, the second #7. The yoyo one is clearly a screenshot of the 'Sick Throw - obtain the Terrarian' steam achievement, which was not a thing when the original CC was posted, nor when I ported it over from TO. The second seems to be of a thread on TCF which again did not exist at the time the CC was posted. Neither seem like the sort of thing that would be entered into the CC either. Strange huh?
There are probably more that I haven't got to further down in the thread.
I know that these are some of the earliest images uploaded to TCF, as the thread they are part of was posted on September 29th 2014 - just after TCF launched.
I have three theories as to what the cause is:

I have three theories as to what the cause is:
- TCF has somehow (accidentally or on purpose) started to reuse space previously housing older images as space for newer ones.
- The image's urls pointed to Terraria Online (which now redirects here) and somehow pointed to images already posted here. (I think this is the most likely)
- We're being trolled by time travellers.
