Default Why Did All The Funny Threads Get Locked?

Been away for a while and just came on to see several locked threads. Personally developed urinary incontinence reading them.

Thanks you guys for giving me such a life.

Did anyone else enjoy them too?

They were very funny. I enjoyed reading them. But then again, I'm an anorak, and anoraks are not supposed to have a sense of humor that we are aware of ... as with the F-B-I (said in the voice of Dr. Whatsitface in Silence of the Lambs). Bit like in MIB, "The FBI does not have a sense of humor that we are aware of." Or words like that.

Couldn't be arsed reading most of them, but they were strung up for a point, and then locked to stop things getting even more silly....though I missed all that fun being out in the glorious weather....don't have much of that before the humidity, mozzies and tourists take over...

Pulaski,

If you read those threads, you'll discover that it was not I who closed them...

Ok, it's a fair cop, ..... but you do seem to have closed a good number yourself lately.

I am guessing you have to ask them that close them. But I am sure that pissing people off is a side effect & not the real aim.

Huge forum, moving threads stops the place getting silly, and easier for people to find info when they do a search....as for closing threads, well closing one's that get out of hand and silly would be the main reason.

That would be an exceptable response, if this board filled up the first page day in and day out with new threads. But it doesn't and this forum is way over moderated imo.

But this board has seperate communities to which the people who live in certain areas, feel more comfortable posting in.
