How do the mods lock threads? Do they have to type something or is there a link that lets them?

2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

They have a moderator toolbar...

Insofar as my knowledge goes, there is a moderator toolbar at the top of the page when they look at a thread that says "Delete," "Pin," "Lock," and perhaps "Move." (I have no idea about the last one.) Clicking one of these buttons will either delete the thread (after a prompt comes up warning the mod of what they are about to do), turn it into a sticky, or lock it, respectively.

Pretty much every forum software out there displays a slightly different interface to moderators, with additional moderator functions. I don't know what the UI for this board looks like for moderators, but I'd imagine that there's the option to ban a user by the edit button, and a close thread button either at the top, or on the original topic post.

And possibly the ability to mass close/move/etc threads in the main forum view.

I kinda figured the unleash ninjas button would be in the same place that it appears in groups, under the member since date. I suppose it could be at the top of the page, but I doubt that.

No really! It amazes me that Anton can actually type on a human keyboard, what with the shield and the cannon.

And it amazes me that you can see your computer screen with that silly visor covering your face.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Noooo! I was going to say that... :(

So, if that isn't the current one, is the new UI any shinier?

Toast must feel out of place then. It can't be easy being a 2-D drawing in a 3-D world.

And how big is TGP's computer?

It's not silly, it's cool.

The sooner the rest of the world accepts that, the sooner we can have world peace.

so that means you probably fly some type of aircraft?

It's all in the voice recognition software; I get around ambiguities in verbal input by pointing the cannon at the correct choice... with the charred wreckage of older, less able systems still in its line of sight, my current computer is quite prompt in mending its errors.

-- Steve's looking forward to his new system, with its built-in stereo mic array. (The current system, however, is sweating bullets.)

Why not just carve holes in the back? Surely that sword has to be used for something other than chopping vegetables.
