You don’t have to hack anything, it’s done via a filter.

ie.

add_filter('bb_topic_labels', 'bb_closed_label', 10);

add_filter('bb_topic_labels', 'bb_sticky_label', 20);

simply remove the filter via a plugin and replace it with your own routine.

remove_filter('bb_topic_labels', 'bb_closed_label');

add_filter('bb_topic_labels', 'my_closed_label');

function my_closed_label( $label ) {

global $topic;

if ( '0' === $topic->topic_open )

return sprintf(__('[Read Only] %s'), $label);

return $label;

}
