SilenCE

SilenCE is the name given to the events that occurred over the span of two hours in the early morning hours of February 8th, 2010. During this time, almost every topic on Current Events was locked, regardless of age or the amount of posts in the topic. Many larger topics on the board, such as CYOAs, were bumped by users specifically so that they too could be locked during the rampage. Although an official count was never made, a conservative estimation would place the number of locked topics as close to a thousand. Although many users grieved the loss of many big or interesting topics, no answer was ever given as to who was responsible for the two hours of chaos on the board.
