For whatever unfathomable reason, mods won't actually delete threads on request. They claimed it was "too much work to delete threads every time someone asked." They will close them, and let the dead threads fester like an overflowing compost heap, (which is why there are over 1000 pages of unpruned threads dating back 5 years, clogging up the works) but this thread will still exist exactly the way it is, 5 years from now. Fun!
