Closing Threads

Nick - what's the deal with thread closing?

If you're going to treat people like adults, I don't think it's appropriate to close threads because one person starts ranting about closed a thread after he gets in the last word. Did that thread upset the order of the universe or did you feel a need to keep some of your esteemed members here happy as possible?

With regard to Brandon's "*yawn*" comment about Bob calling vbulletin a victim: Once you opened the can of worms about this notice, you should have just posted the DMCA takedown notice you claim was sent to you. Keeping all the details hush-hush is what has caused this entire conspiracy talk in the first place. You've swept it under the carpet leading to endless speculation about what it may or may not contain, etc. hoping to get some few details from you. Perhaps the next time you're claiming something happened that is severe perhaps it is us who should say "yawn" until you actually post the good for all of us to see.

 

Actually, you seem to be the only one who can't let go. It seems to me that everybody else is capable of exhibiting self-control and ending the discussion when it has gone too far.

A thread closed is just that: closed. That doesn't mean to start the discussion again in another thread; it means to stop discussing it.

Is that what it takes to close a thread? You act like no thread is worthy of being closed no matter what is said in it.

I, like many other efficient administrators I know, close the thread before the entire order of the universe is upset. Afterall, if I wait until after the order of the universe crumbles in chaos, then it's too late. I'd rather be proactive than reactive in a situation like this.
