Linking to YouTube without it embedding?

Hello,Can you provide a link to a YouTube video on UKBF without the video embedding?
Changing your user name on UKBF is possible, but we mere mods do not have the necessary power or permissions.
Plenty of other forums have systems like this in place which automatically locks and archives very old threads, and doing them all at once for the first time automatically (which I presume would involve a MySQL database run) would take minutes without any downtime

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!!


I did not find the right solution from the Internet.
