I heard there was a bug that allowed you to retire a fortress?

I have heard that some people have begun establishing a dwarven society in a dead world by using this method. I googled it but couldn't find it. If this is true can anyoen explain or link to a thread that explains this glitch? It  sounds like a fun way to create a Fortress Goal in the world.

It's not a bug, but some severe manipulation of the game with the mode switch command of DFHack makes it possible to do this.  I don't know how it's done, but you can ask in the DFHack thread:
