Yes I read them too. Plenty here in the same vein then :o
Perverse in a way.

Aren't all threads around here eventually locked?

I always read the closed topics looking for something of interest.

However some of them are boring now as rather than simply move a thread posted in the wrong forum they simply get closed  :o :D :D

Add me to the list.  I probably look at 80-90% of all closed threads, yet I look at probalby 10% of the open threads.

So, it would seem the general consenus is that closed threads attract more readers. More readers attract more sponsers. More sponsers mean...

... we can expect the number of closed topics to increase. :o !

no, you are not alone. Closed threads are often the only ones worth reading,
Definitely not alone ... it's sort of like a morbid curiousity in the same vein as people rubber-necking at a traffic accident. No one wants it to happen to them, but they can't resist sneaking a peek to see what happened.

Would you prefer it if they understood what your initials stood for and what your avatar means? Maybe the mods could google it?

The best one's are the one's that get not just closed but deleted.

You have to get to them before a MOD does of course though.  :D
Exactly right! And when you look for the previous posts of your favorite banned member, you tend to find them gone as well, esp. the one that finally got him banned, which must have been really good.  :o

Starting this thread, in no way it was my intention to initialize a discussion about the moderating.
But the way it developed, it might be somewhat useful in the way of helping the moderators to stay in touch with the feelings among the general public.
