Why is my thread closed?

Well, I look down upon the people who caused the closing of the word association thread. However, that means that I will have to think of something new. But this weekend, I have much more important things to do to check any forum much.

Hehe, that must be annoying.

It happens.

Wow... this forum has reached a new all-time low... threads about closed threads.

The worst thing is it is filling up rapidly.

It's the off-season. What else do we have to talk about?

if it's because we're not supposed to post a whole bunch of stupid stuff to try to rack up the post count, i laugh at the irony and hipocricy of the situation, seeing as brandon posted numerous times, himself. sorry brandon...
if it's because of some mention of alcohol...well, then i have nothing to say about that. can't really argue that one, guys.

since there's a thread on here about the violation of second amentment rights, i might as well throw something in about first ammendment rights...heh.

Yes, I posted. But I didn't post about 4-5 replies to that thread in one sitting. There were probably 1-2 times where I did 2 posts with one between in a short period of time, and now I regret doing it because it broke the rules. But there were many times where I went 'oh, I got a good one' and didn't post it, because I already posted in the previous 15 or so posts.

I was right in that the thread was closed on the grounds that I proposed earlier. I was not aware that a string of three posts ( person1, person2, person1 ) was in violation of the rules, or that there was a conversation in the thread, to begin with.

Because it was I that broke the rules, I'll try to justify it by saying that the rules were a tad ambiguous and that a rule like that would have been broken eventually, but again, that's only because I was the one who broke them. My posts consisted of ~1/10 of the total, and I had more than 30 posts more than the next highest. I'll try to exhibit a little more self-control, when it comes to my posting habits, from now on...

Sorry about all that...

heh, kinda like entanglement?

I looked at the thread.
I went to dinner.
I came back.
There were 4 new pages.
There were like 3 people that created those 4 new pages.
So I closed it.

I never said it wouldn't re-open.

[Katie Reynolds]

Just wanted to bring this back up to the top for a few people to read ...

Good idea. I think a few people forgot what happened last time.

Thanks for rubbing it in.....
