You haven't succeeded in taking a misplaced thread and getting it out of your forum -- all you have done is create a clone so it is now fully functional in both of them.
In the past a thread was simply locked and moved, people would get angry because they couldn't find their thread, this helps solve that problem. It is, as Fewmiles said, just a link to where the thread is now situated.
