Come on now.. that thread got locked because people kept going in there to complain about how disgusting it was to have a thread like that on the forum. The guys who were in their venting and I was one of them used that thread accordingly and I think it was one of the smartest things ever done around here.

That goes on in every thread... it's in my sig revisit it and you'll see who did all the baiting... the baiting was done by people who knew damn well what was being talked about and yet they went in and provoked the people who were in there doing exactly the things the thread was created for. Why didn't they just stay out?

Mainly because it was stickied right smack on top.
But what was even worse that convo spilled out into several other threads as well.
I was asked to stay out from several mods and I did so after that.
But that thread sat there literally the whole off season, why the complaints is beyond me

If someone put this much thought into a "Trade Melo" thread, would it get locked or stay opened forever?
If someone put as much work like Albert did with his , I wouldn't lock on that merit alone.
Threads get locked from my witnessing due to baiting, derailment and lack of any new material in such.
IMO, almost any subject is talked about on here.
Its the dialogue on the inside of the thread that usually kill it.

How does it go, considering I immediately answered the poster.
I specifically said if he or someone put as much effort and fact into such a thread I wouldn't touch it.

In the "trade amare" thread........
"Let's trade Melo for Josh Smith'......
Has zero to do with trading Amare and glad really no one bit on that.
You've been here a long time.
You know derailment when you see it.

There is nothing to address.
Rarely are threads locked unless the subject matter belongs somewhere else and normally whoever locked it states it in the last post of the thread.
Usually the posts on the inside are the ones that gets threads locked, not the actual topic.
I extend the same invite to you that I have the other poster.
Go for it with the same effort and fact finding as Albert did.
Otherwise I ask you to leave the subject alone.

Miss me with that logic, I've said repeatedly and in the Lin thread I locked I stated "discuss him in the around the nba thread" because the board shouldn't be cluttered with threads about one player who isn't on our team, in our division or even in our conference. There's a place on this board where discussions about the latest Lin news have taken place, so I don't see why anyone should be complaining that they have no where to chat about Lin on this board.

In its last days it reached a point where it was hardly even about Lin, but rather about race of all things.
It reached its course, and as of right now, the "NBA" thread gets good Lin discussion.
But a dedicated thread for a "non knick"?
Not likely.

Well, the racial derailing of the Lin thread was mostly due to posters who, imo, are long overdue for a suspension or banning.
And my concern with the around the NBA thread is that it may turn into a de facto Lin thread, thus preventing any general 'around the nba' discussion. I guess we'll see.
