I Wish I Could Reply to a Closed Thread

[dr del]

ok sometimes i'm browsing the forum and i happen upon something that i find interesting. i get to reading, i'm thinking and forming thoughts in my head and i scroll down to hit the reply button, but the thread is closed/locked! ahh oh no! i really wished i coulda chimed in. i really wish i could reply to some of these closed threads. why can't i? :/


Edit: please don't close/lock this thread.

As the other staff members have said we generally don't close the threads without a reason - though sometimes it can be a bit obscure like the info posted has been improved upon/ learned from in the subsequent time.

Its statements like this from forum mods that have killed fourms, I don’t know u but that kind of statement just come across as u think ur better than other people here.

A simple we closed it because it was getting disrespectful or against forum rules. Or the op requested it. That would be a statement that had zero prejudice in it.

If a person states that they just wanted to chime in with info etc on a closed thread doesn’t mean they are going to abuse the forum rules.

We are, honestly, approachable guys - we all started off as regular members of the forum. We still are regularly posting members of the forum - if you think what you want to add has relevance or moves the discussion forwards then you can always just Pm us and ask.

We might be party to some info that makes us wish to keep the discussion in the past but everyone is free to ask us anything and we will answer if we can.

And I’m sorry if I read into that wrong but the mods seem to always feel so superior to the rest of the forum that it drives people to Facebook. And I don’t have a Facebook and don’t plan on it. Lol

Like my second post said, I could be wrong and it looks like I was. And for that I apologize. The fact that u didn’t delete my post and responded in a more than civilized way proved me wrong. And I’m glad to be wrong in this situation.

Thanks for this post. We are definitely not trying to foster a "them and us" atmosphere here.
