Thread locked early

So, this thread got locked even though we haven't even hit that 10,000 post milestone yet—we're sitting at just a little over 8,000, actually.

I’m thinking we could aim for somewhere around 10,000 posts as a rough target for this thread, though I’ll leave it up to the moderators to decide if they want to lock things down sooner or let it run a bit longer if they feel like it.
