While dead threads (that is, threads that haven't had any new posts in two weeks) are allowed to be posted in (so long as the new post provides something new or valuable), it only applies to threads that have been dead for under 6 months. Because this thread has dead since July, I will have to lock this.
P.S. I have no certainty on this, but I'd venture to say the "vortex" is the En Tree, or whatever it's called.
