Firstly they are an absolute nightmare to moderate. Every other post in them someone is being called a **** or told to **** off. Too much moderating has to go into it, and I'd rather the mods didn't have to check those 2 threads every few mins especially while the BB forum is going to be overloaded.

I also feel threads like that turn away new members when they see them, especially with some of the lanuage and insults being used. I know you might only mean it as a joke or whatever, but to someone who doesn't know that it gives the wrong impression of the forum.

Lastly large threads that are being refreshed every 3-4 seconds like the Zeta and BH are, are a strain on the server. I'd rather during BB (at least the beginning week) to make sure the server is going to cope with the traffic OK. Maybe after week 1 is out the way we can see about re-opening them, but people will have to quit the insults and rudeness :conf2:

I appreciate the explanation.

Thank you for your explanation Mark.
I do understand where you are coming from about the server etc because they are massive threads and I have noticed some problems with them recently already.
I do hope that they get unlocked after a week or so when TiBB isn't all crazy.
And I get the insults too. Even know I am one of them, I think it should stop (to a certain degree :wink:)

No.

I don't see why people bother with the "brotherhood" and all that utter shite. Just use this place to have a laugh if you're bored! Also, locking threads is extremely annoying, e.g. when I made that "TiBB has changed" thread a few weeks ago, in which I did nothing but voice my own opinion, and where everybody was respectfully replying to each other on it, got closed for no apparent reason. It's little things like this which turn me away from this forum.
