Why...

...are 99.8 % of the topics older than a month or so locked?

There must be a script that does that. If you want to write a comment in any of them just ask a mod to open it for you.

Keeps topics that are old from being bumped with nothing being added. I think it should be longer than a month though.



edit: not that anyone reads the stickies, but if you read the rules stickies in my forums, there are sections explaining this locking. Just got to send a PM to one of that forums mods.

I read the stickies for the most part about a year and a half ago. Everytime the OP is changed I usually miss out on that info, as i'd be re-reading a post I already read, and my time is to valuable for that.





And I agree that it should be longer than a month. Three, perhaps?

I think the script is fine for the babe forums, which would only get bumped my a random n00b saying nice pics or some shit.

The lounge should have at least 2 months, and the other forums shold have like 3-4 months.

Three months sounds good.
