Ok, I realise that locked topics inherently end up grouped together (for an obvious reason), but why are there TEN in a row? What's with that?

They were resurrected topics from ages long past and they deserved death. Simple as that.

There was no happy ending.

Two were deleted.

Some of 'em were randomly revived by someone and the others were just nonsense

They were revived soon after Mariann's announcement that all threads on General older than two months would be deleted due to a shortage of Irony Central disk space. Before Alec came up with the idea of archiving all the old threads, several old threads deemed important were resurrected in an effort to save them from certain elimination.

I think he got the idea from me. I revived the first one, which was Djur's last post on his original account. After about 15 minutes, I think he realized that there were too many topics that were important, which was the moral dilemma that I was facing, too. Fortunately, he came up with the good idea for the archive, which I hadn't.

EDIT: w00t! 500th post for me! Erudite I am now.

Ah, I was confused by the order of the dead topics. But yeah, the topic you revived at first is one of my favorites. Speaking of old favorites, does anyone know what became of the old "Friends" topic (the one with Alec's secret disclosure at the end)? I read it soon after I arrived here, but couldn't find it when I looked for it a few months later.

I could've sworn I saw that thread in the BoE forum somewhere... I will look for it and edit this message if I find it.

EDIT: Can't find it. Don't know. I have about half the pages of General on my computer, so it might be somewhere in there, but I don't see it anywhere in the forums.
