Tyre kickers thread locked on Webmaster

Just wondering why this thread was locked. There does not seem to be any major trouble from it (apart from one Muppet, who was promptly banned) and does cover a topic that frustrates a lot of people in the Web industry. Is there a reason for the locking and can it be reopened?

Looking at it, it would appear that a spammer attempted to hijack the thread, his posts have subsequently either been deleted or edited and he's been banned. So there may have been a reason to close it, but that's now well gone (I can't think of any other reason).

Did you PM the mods Ph3n0m, MiCr0? Did they get back to you?
