Can you see how in Dec a mod made a comment about contents and the title?
Yet, no one paid attention.
So...huntley can be talked about somewhere else.
Think this way.
You are a new poster.. You want to post the awesome story how you became a fan.
Click on title...and you you dont see anything about being a fan. So you search and search, then say eff it..and never tell your story
Now..this is where posters complain that mods shouldnt lock threads, or tell us what to do. Or what ever gripe YOU have
And you is in general.
I saw a harsh warning about talking Covid, politics and non football controversial topics. I don't recall reading about the immediate shut down of a thread that temporarily veers off course.
You 2 guys run the place, so your call. However, if you actually follow the conversation, which another mod took part in, there was a rhyme and reason for where it ended up.
I swear, you guys get over zealous with your shutting down of perfectly good threads, simply because they get slightly off track. Maybe see if they find their way back, I have noticed that they usually do.
Back to your rationale of a new poster clicking on that thread...and you shutting it down fixes it how? Most of us know how to find a topic and skim through content and then post. I find it way more frustrating to skim through and decide "hey good topic, I want to post". Wait....how do I post when it says "closed for further discussion."
Last question....when you and Poppa decide to close a thread, why not just delete the whole thread? At that point you've rendered it useless for discussion purposes anyway.
I appreciate what you guys do here, but shutting down threads that veer off topic for a bit, has been a pet peeve of mine from Day 1.
