I'm thinking Monique killed it.

I would like to know why it was locked. It could have been some fun.

tooki · Jul 19, 2006, 12:59 PM

It was stupid from the get-go, so I closed it.

I thought the initial idea was kind of interesting, but all the responses indicated that was no worky.

no it wasnt? Just monique was.
It'd be nice if you posted a reason or some sort, even if you just said it was stupid

It reminded me of some very funny threads back in 2002-2003.

Why kill something so instantaneously? Watch it grow and develop!

Yes it was. The second question you asked was right up there.

Completely, 1000% pointless.

The Lounge is for interesting discussion, not for stuff completely devoid of any learning or entertainment value. (Yes, I can make that decision.)

Just [tooki] a mod throwing their weight around again. Just because you are a mod doesn't mean you should be able to decide if a thread is entertaining or not. Members should decide that, and from seeing that there were some responses to the thread, I think its evident that at least some members wanted to continue having a bit of fun in that thread.

Lighten up already!! I seriously do not see how it is your place to decide if a thread is entertaining or not - mod or not, you're no better than the rest of us here.

And to close the thread without even posting a reason for it is just damn right rude IMO.

If I think a thread won't benefit the forums overall, or will attract the type of discussion we want to discourage, then I can close it.

As clearly stated in the rules, a mod or admin can choose to close a thread for any reason and is not even obliged to explain.

Fine, but do you not think it courteous to give an explanation of a closure - it doesn't matter if you are not obliged to, thats no reason for being pretentious and rude.

tooki · Jul 22, 2006, 09:39 PM

Umm, no. It's an extra courtesy if we choose to give an explanation.

We wrote our rules: that's why we put the disclaimer there. We don't always have the time or inclination to explain. It's more important that a thread get closed in a timely manner than waiting until we have time to write an explanation.
