I have to ask, why close threads.

We close threads to stop them turning into a slanging match and getting off topic, as that expo thread was fast becoming. It doesn't assist anybody and only serves to create tension on the forum.

Cave, you're always banging on about keeping things positive and that thread was far from it so why the resistance to closing it?

If you want this forum to turn to pot then let us know so we can relax all the rules we have in place. Then you can ask yourselves in 12 months time why AP no longer exists. Is that what you really want? I don't as we have some exciting things in store for AP and I'm afraid if we let things go wild now then we may not be able to implement them later.
