Although vanilla Minecraft had no "fill" command until v1.8 (Sep. 2014), Drew had a server mod called GroovyBukkit which provided this feature as early as Jan. 2011.

At some point, Gabe used the GroovyBukkit "fill" command to produce a thousand-block mass of water that both crashed the server at the time of execution and would afterward lock up anyone's Minecraft client who dared approach the area.

I volunteered to clean the mess by setting my render distance very low and replacing the water with air in small increments, leaving this immense bald patch on the world as a goofy reminder that Ciro_Fix didn't always "fix" things.
