The Big Red Button was created for a use. Only those that knew what it was would actually know to press it. It prevented you from getting other people from burning you up with flamethrowers.
Unfortunately, no one made use of this Great Button for unknown reasons, and the 'nubs', if you will, continued to be open for flamethrowing wars. It was a horrendus age, an age of chaos for the rulers of the Big Button, as they had to prevent the flamewars from burning down their magnificent kingdom.
... The rulers were going insane, they could not stand to let flamewars continue. They <span style='color:red'>LOCKED</span> everyone who didn't use the Big Red Button in jailcells.
...
...
Since then, the Big Red Button has been renamed 'search engine', the rulers, 'moderators', the kingdom 'forums'.

Great story, eh? <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

That's quite easy to answer silencer. When the first buttons were invented people went around merrily clicking them without a second thought, but as time went on people started having doubts, they wondered if the actions that happened when they pushed the button were mearly coencidence. That when they push the button the thing that happened, happened regardless of them pushing it, this was such a blow to the ideas of buttons that people thought discarding them forever. Fortunatly a solution was soon developed where great minds in the button community made a button that would *never* be pressed therefore *never* cause anything to happen and if no one ever pressed the button and nothing ever happened people could rest assured that button pressing actually caused things to happen.

There you have it folks, the mystery of the red button. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
The button's origin and purpose has been explained, nothing more to see here, move along.
