Just curious if any of you read locked threads just to see what happened? Every time I see one I have to read it to see what happened. Curiousity thing I guess.

Me too.

But I used to be the one that gets the thread locked. Learned better in my old age.

SURE you have.

For me, it all depends on the subject line.

Some people like to complain about the administrator's.I for one think that most of the time they are very patient and sometimes a thread lasts longer than I expect. Some folks just can't seem to control their language. Of course many times when you read the locked thread, some of the stuff that get it locked, has been edited out. That's fine with me to.

I like finding people who have been banned and searching all their post to find out what they did.

begle1 is a good example of that. Though I personally came pretty close to being banned once myself. I'm not proud of it though and I learned my lesson. Took me just a little bit to realize just what a good thing we have going here. I was stupid once and looking back I was an idiot for posting some of the things that I posted. This is a great site that is run by great people and I am sorry for some of the things that I posted in the past. Honestly I'm surprised I'm still allowed here. But I am thankful.....

Yeah, some of the things some folks try to pull is just amazing. Keeps me coming back for more locked treads just for the laugh at ignorance i guess.

I find myself looking at the locked threads too, just for curiosity of "what the heck happened here to have it locked?"

I also could have my back to the TV and paying no attention to it, until I hear "The following content is graphic in nature, viewer discretion is advised." Then I turn around and I'm all ears. I gotta see what's going on now....

And celebrating the fact you decided to fly instead of taking the train.
