apparently they lock threads if they are over 10000 posts long because it takes a lot of effort to load and puts too much pressure on the system or something. also LC passed out marshmellows to you and everyone else.
This thread sees too much action these days. Miss a few hours and you have 3/4 pages to read. Miss a day and you're screwed.
And then there's people like me, who wander off for a week or so and then have absolutely no idea what's going on. I've decided to come on here more often, by the way. Not that it'll help much.
