Anyone else here just HAVE to read a locked thread when you see it?

[tjwash]

Just to find out why?

1. Yep. If nothing else, I need to read the "Locking" post

to see why it was locked. A lock on a thread usually makes me pay attention to it, even if I hadn't before, LOL!

2. Good, I thought I was alone in that...

:toast:

3. Oh I'm VERY nosy and I suspect a lot of other DUers are too!

Human nature and all! :toast:

9. HEY!

Just because you caught me ONE time with those binoculars!

I happen to be an avid bird watcher, and in case you didn't know, the best ones come out at night in front of my neighbor's window.

:evilgrin:

4. Me too

I'm guilty lol

15. yeah, but that's not the same since BMLH left when he had a kid

:cry:
I miss his wit when locking threads during the "fun" period

5. its like a traffic accident

you have to look.

[tjwash]

7. Especially if you see about 60 responses before it gets locked.

You just have to see the smoldering carnage.

6. I posted on a thread the other day that got locked.

The mod never said why, thats rude. There should be a rule.

10. I saw one not Long ago that was locked with only

a half dozen posts. I didn't see anything wrong with it and there was no explanation as to why. The message area was blank.

8. Certainly! If you all are misbehaving I want to at least read about it!

11. Remember when a thread would be locked and later it would

be kicked to the top by someone that had spent all that time composing a post?
Sometimes that last post was verrry interesting, in a flame-war kind of way. :)

12. The funniest ones are when...

...there is a big time meltdown with an obvious freeper disprupter, and "newyawker99" shows up in the middle of it, and welcomes them to DU. It usually goes something like this:

FUCK OFF

GO BACK TO FREEPERLAND YOU JERK

Hi Freepboy 123 Welcome to DU!!!

Listen you piece of shit...


OMG :rofl:

[Lars39]

13. Those are hilarious!

And you've described it perfectly! :rofl:

14. It depends on the topic. Sometimes the original poster, but much more

the topic.
