I think you admin guys should stop locking threads without consent the threadmaker, a genuine reason and something like a jerry springer end note. Top 6 was fun banter and Peace Alliance had no relative reason to shut down a topic with 81 hits. If there's little activity in the game cos no one has skills or a care in the world to get skilled up then the least we can do is get the game discussion lively.
Mod your own topics and don't read the ones that don't interest you. Forum activity is good for the game even if you can't make the game right.
We've been following the same moderating guidelines since 2003, and most long-time members enjoy the community we've built.
I should have posted my rational for locking the topic, but it was 4am, I couldn't sleep, and I was on my smartphone (read: I got lazy). It's not the end of the world though, if you don't understand why something is done you just have to ask.
unlikely you'll admit to being a biased admin ;) boring game half the time.
