Ever posted a thread that totally went OFF TOPIC and/or LOCKED? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Ireneparalegal · 01-22-2006, 07:53 PM

My Good Times thread not only went way off topic, it also got locked!
the topic was "I think I've got thee answer" in response to another thread regarding the issue of Good Times being a spin-off or not of Maude. Almost 300 posts later it had turned into a political debate mentioning George Bush

It was funny seeing the two posters going at it, but it eventually got the thread locked! My first and only thread to be locked!

Yes, about a year ago, I posted a topic in the chit-chat forum here about 2 fat ladies at my job that eat a lot. One person said something about fat people, and the other person got offended. It went way off topic, and they started fighting and it ended up getting locked. Let me see if I can bring it up.

CARRIECRAZED: I think you got the record for SHORTEST LOCKED THREAD EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Babes_Cat · 01-22-2006, 08:31 PM

... oh i've had many.

Ireneparalegal · 01-22-2006, 08:38 PM

CARRIECRAZED: That was one crazy thread. Yeah, it was way off topic and it got very heated. I could see why it got closed.

swedeace · 01-22-2006, 08:44 PM

Yes, I've had a topic go off topic. I can't remember which thread, but it was a while back. Maybe last summer or so. No, I haven't had one of my threads locked. I don't think threads get locked as often. I rarely see it happen here in Chit Chat.

G-Force Glockstar · 01-22-2006, 08:52 PM

Yeah a few times

PZelda · 01-22-2006, 09:28 PM

I haven't looked at this in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time. It didn't go TOO off-topic and I think I locked this myself about a year ago to prevent anymore people from bumping this back up. From October of 2003:

There used to be a LOT of fighting on the boards at the time, heh.

robyrob · 01-22-2006, 10:26 PM

i was surprised to discover that the ONLY two threads I've ever had locked were ones that I had locked myself for the Happy Days Board Awards nominations.

i had quite a few threads that probably deserved to be locked because they STARTED off-topic

Karen* · 01-23-2006, 01:47 AM

No. But I like to look at those kinds of threads and even post in them once in a while.

Gah, I remember that. Practically every topic on the chit chat boards turned into a fight at one time.

But as for the topic question...I don't think I ever have started a thread that got locked for bad things, just for it getting to lengthy.

Stormtracker TF · 01-23-2006, 04:56 AM

I don't think any thread I've ever made has been locked besides the random ones that were always locked when finished, but considering 80% of all the threads I've started were off topic, I guess most of them have went off topic.
