why are some threads closed?
I can understand some of the CLB threads being closed. But there was one today about a fellow CF'er celebrating his one year anniversary with his vette that was closed. Out of curiosity, why was that one closed?

If that was the case it would have moved, not closed.

He's was celebrating 1 year on the forum. Anniversaries, and celebrating post counts, Like "I just hit 1000 posts!" are not allowed, Why? I donno, probably because if everyone did it it would take up too much band width.

Yep...you have to remember, this forum has something like 70,000 members. If the mods allowed celebrations for anniversaries, post counts, etc then we would need a whole separate forum just for that.

It's just the way it works. As others have said, it helps to save space (at least in the post count ones). Also, anything inappropriate, (kill stories, bashing, etc), will get locked. The mods are just doing their jobs.
Oh, IBTL hehehe.

perhaps in the future, a PM to a section moderator might clear up the question. The answer was given in the thread. Post counts every 10K and anniversary dates are allowed for a short period of time.However, C5 general is not the place for either. In addition, if you have a question about the posting of tech questuions in general, use the
