The thread is corrupt (and maybe one of the causes for the recent shutdown). As this is the second problematic thread on the same issue maybe it would be better to delete it completely?

Yes, I started a NEW thread - called Version Three in the heading as the first TWO got corrupted after a couple of 100 posts in each.

Corrupt threads being locked down do not seem to be important technically for some reason. That corrupt "DENROC" thread in OMNI went on for 100s or 1000s of posts IIRC as a de-facto Word Association thread - with all that load being posted on an already corrupt thread.

THEN it appears a Moderator went and re-named it as Word Association Thread, and a few 1000 more posts get dumped on top of an already corrupt thread.

I know nothing about UBB, but have a hunch that can't be a bright idea.
