This has been discussed before on the thread. I like this reply:
You clearly just want to get rid of this thread. Bury it. Slide it away.
My suggestion is to create a better replacement thread and
then ask moderators to unpin this one. Calling it "burying" is disingenuous to say the least.
Anyone can create a new one or edit it and tell moderator to pin it. If it should be pinned, it would be pinned.
