The First (and best) Great Locking™ was done in a similar fashion, a moderator going through each topic one by one to modify them (under the old board system there was no batch processing).

Fine, but the point remains, you didn't do anything for your forum.

Just how certain are you of this, Avatara? A great deal of mythology has evolved around the original Great Locking™, and it just might be that some particulars of the truth have been lost to the annals of history...

When did the Cythera board get so active? Sure, Av is lovable and cuddly with his luxurious fur and all, but he can be found here as well.

In any event, many hearts are always for the best.

Sometimes on my forums I like to assign icons to things. But never hearts. Eeww.

I was listening to the person that did it grumble about the manual labor involved on GameRanger (loading three pages to close a topic back then took around a minute with a slower server). It was quite amusing actually.
