When a news story is not done.
Or a Case is not closed.

I find it odd that a thread on the subject might be.
Is there some new time limit?

Good Luck To All.
Peace.

orionfoxgibson : If there's no replies to the thread in... like 6 months(?) then the thread will auto close.

That still does not explain the "Boston Story" thread being closed.

Thanks anyway "M.R.F.E."

Good Luck To All.
Peace.

That one was not a time limit. I don't know however why your thread was closed.

I think one of the moderators decided to close yours because there is a duplicate thread, and they just picked one of the two to close because both of them had responses in them.

play4fun :
Thanks for the verse on your post.
Take note though.
I had an interesting conversation with an "Elite" that was 16 years of age the previous night before that thread was closed.
(Fun Fact:"Leggy" had a duplicate and bailed.)
I decided to leave a post on the 16 year Old's profile page that he might find enlightening...or insulting if he had no humility.
The next day I had a thread closed.
He might have attempted to close all of my threads.
I have been known to have an extreme ability to P!$$ people off. (Part of the reason I am comical.)
The only thread he managed to close was one that was duplicated. Even though my thread opened first.
Plus it was a very Important Topic.
Thought it might be an interesting conversation.

I hope the Texas News Incident was just negligence or something other than terrorisim.
I think we all have had enough bad news for one week.

Good Luck To All.
I'm done. Stick a fork in me.
Peace.

Elites cannot close threads, so that is not a possibility. Only the Mods have power to close threads. Most likely your Boston thread was closed because there are already many threads about it. Typically, the one that gets made first is the one that stays open, even if the maker of that thread does leave.

rcarter2 : So . . . . shouldn't you close this then, now the questions answered?

 That explains it though. I have seen this happen, Eirinn's "World changers group - not officially named" had no activity for a few months so was, alas, closed.

rcarter2 :
My thread did open first "Carter".
I would have noticed a new thread because I was looking for one while it was "breaking news".
I must have hit the refresh page about a dozen times at least.
Then again it might have been a "Moderator".
I thought that mods and elite were the same thing.
So I mix up the title and rank. (Sue me.)
Any luck with that silly thread about religion and court?

I have many jokes saved up this week and I am dying to unleash my humor.

Good Luck To All.
Peace.

I do not know if this is some typing language barrier, but your post seemed very rude.

Putting someone's name in quotation marks while talking to them signifies that you are talking down to them. And when you add something such as (sue me) at the end of your sentence, it is very rude.

So if this is a language interpretation barrier thing, I apologize for the misunderstanding. If not, what the hell?
