    I know this is really random, but would someone with >=3000 rep please supply the fifth (and final) "close" vote for the sandbox question

    http://dev.mathoverflow.stackexchange.com/q/103749/5094

    ? [Note: this question is in the MO 2.0 sandbox--not the actual site, where I would not have the nerve to ask it.]

    For whatever reason, it would not let me get in. I admit, I have not been doing anything with the sandbox anyway, so there may be tricks i do not know.

    Try again, Will. The login is temperamental.

  4.  

    Done. (Thanks!) As far as I am concerned, this meta thread can now be deleted.

    I'm very happy that I was able to get in on this joke.

    @Will:

    You need to use the link from the MO 2.0 (second post, first page) which allows a login. Otherwise you just get a notification of a private beta going on.

    Asaf, that sounds right, all I got was a thing about beta.

    Hmm. I cast the third vote to delete the question. I’m rather surprised that my 7k+ rep was enough to do that, though as expected, it’s not enough to see (or undelete, for that matter) the question once deleted.

    Emil, the test site has very unusual reputation thresholds for the different privileges. I can delete, but not close...

    Thanks for the explanation, Asaf.

  11.  

    By the way, just as clarification: while I have no objection to people using the question to test the delete functionality (or anything else, for that matter), the thread I was suggesting might be deleted was this thread here on meta, not the sandbox question (which will disappear in any case once the actual migration happens).

  12.  

    Yes, deleting the question on the devsite ruins the joke.

  13.  

    By all means, vote to undelete.

    Sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin the joke, I was just wondering what happens when I push this button.

  15.  

    Emil's last comment reminded me of this.

  16.  

    Emil, figuring out "what happens when I push this button" is an entirely appropriate use of the question. I just did not want people misinterpreting my earlier comment here as a request for the question to be deleted.
