Yes, that great thread is 10 years old, and thanks to Daly for all of his contributions here.
However, the anniversary is actually October 30. The thread was created 10/30/14.
So why does it show November 5, 2013? Well, that's because of bots.
For whatever reason, bots from all over the place were hammering the thread. I'm not sure why, but they were bogging down the system badly from reading it constantly, almost like a DDoS attack (though that's not what was going on). The easiest way to stop this was to make them fail to refresh the thread. I did that by moving all of the posts to a different thread which had been created on 11/5/2013. It was a junk thread with little engagement, and I changed the author to Daly, moved his original post's text there. Then I kept his original 10/30/14 post and added him saying "C'mon boys let's get this going" so it didn't look weird that it had no engagement for a year. Sorry, Daly.
Anyway, the bots got a bad thread error when they tried to refresh the old one, and it worked. They went away.
