I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. It had really only just started, and hadn't had any chance to run its natural course, and was just arbitrarily archived before it had gone anywhere, and took a lot of potential fun away. I was just about to post in it, but then was very surprised that it had already been locked and moved.
It almost seemed like a case of "oh those few posts were funny, I better quickly archive it before the pesky forum has a chance to ruin it."
