Whats NSFW? and who cares if its old, ever herd of the saying every thing old is new again. Might be old but thats the first I have seen of it and im sure for others too. And warning for what, you can see anything in detail just the shape and color of a person. Nothing offensive there.

oh ****off, im just shocked why it was locked, no reason, no warning no PM. Im not crying I just wanted to know why. If all that had to be done was to put NSFW in the title I would have been more then happy to have put that in the title. As you will notice I dont complain about things and I don't usally get locked posts. I am hoping that sooner or later today the one that locked it or some one else on the mod staff will explain to me the reason it was locked.

I don't know who closed it. Regardless, while we encourage the mod/admin team to leave a note for why something was closed, we don't require it. We are all volunteers, and writing a response to each and every action we take would paralyze the forums, it's just too time-consuming.

Sorry!

Dont worry about it and thanx for getting back to me, I thought it was you orginally LOL no offence but some times your locky happy. I still would like to know what was wrong with it to avoid future locks, I honestly have no clue to why that one was singled out.

BTW seeing any snow over there? LOL Vancouver for over a week now has had lows of 10c and highs of 18c, talk about the strangest weather for 2005.

I'm only "lock happy" when we post very explicit rules, and people ignore them.

We got about 6" of snow, but the roads have been cleared.

I didn't lock it either, but I would guess it was probably a combination of 'old and has been posted several times' and no NSFW warning. Just because you didn't think it was that bad doesn't mean that someone poor unsuspecting person's employer might disagree with you. But you're right, an explination should have been given.
