I've only seen four.

I locked one, one of my own posts. That post, until you mentioned it had been dead a while, which made me think about locking it. It was a recruitment post, one that had no success, not a general discussion. It was just a waste of space.

At least two of the others, one I was in the process of locking, but Gozar beat me to it. Both of them were getting a little out of hand, one being something that was going around in circles, everything being repeated over and over even though everything had already been explained.

There are already active posts in existence, Sloths counselling service, the next poster, posts which are general chit chat.

Anyone can start a new topic. So, the question of "a lot of posts being locked, what's all that about". is pretty irrelevant, lol.

That being said, nice to see you in here Riverbug, constructive comments and topics like yours are always welcome. That's the point.

Sloth had a counselling service? :O and it got locked? I need to see that. lol

No, Sloth's counselling is still ongoing, not locked. That's the point I was making, there are other chats, always available. If you find yourself at a low ebb, Sloth's the person to unladen your burdens upon, lol!!

Haha, nice. Let's just say some people might need counseling... I might poke my head in there sometime.

of all the threads that need locking.. i think this one may be on the short list

Yeah. People only need to look at the topics to see why they are locked.
