A Quick Question About This Forum

    Why is it that a thread can be closed without a valid excuse?

    In other forums, a Mod will have the last post in the thread explaining why he is closing it - i.e, what rules were broken, language used etc.

    It's not used here. If someone's opinion is disliked, the whole thread gets locked and that's not right.

    Boards.ie is not that busy at all. In fact, it's one of the slowest moving forums I frequent.

    Would you like me to remove your access rights from AH?

    You know, just to help you on the way back to busier forums.

    In fairness if a thread gets locked in AH then it was a sh1te pointless thread that had no place here. Shouldn't need explaining IMO.

    Boards can only have a certain number of threads open at a time (hereafter known as 'Magic Number of Threads Number'). If the Magic Number of Threads Number is exceeded, a giant lolcat will descend to earth from the moon and begin lapping up the earth's oceans. This will cause an imbalance in the metrical expulsion unitation of erudite metronical divination, thus resulting in the implosion of the earth and the unknown universe. The known universe will remain intact. Therefore, and moreover, AH mods must close threads randomly and without explanation.

    Just trust that they do this for the embiggenment of humanity.

    I'll leave this open for a few more minutes if anyone has any more questions then ask away.

    If not, or anything else down the line please ask in Feedback or Help Desk.
