simple question

how and why do posts get locked??

Naughty interweb elves cast even naughtier magic spells.

that was funny ^ I have no clue actually...

Threads get locked if there are too many replies (over 100), if the topic already exists, or if it is offensive or rude about or towards anyone.

The moderators lock them. If you created a post, and don't want it to be open anymore, you can also ask a mod to close it.
