Because a lot of people seem to have the need to go out of their way and express their dislike for something, even when their expression contradicts their complaint (i.e. "This was a waste of my time, but I'm going to spend some of my time to complain about how it was a waste of my time"). This constant comlpaining isn't really very productive to the forums, so one of our admins had the courtesy of putting the thread down before it got too far out of hand.

Yeah, it probably was my fault. Didn't mean sound so negative.

The best way to handle a dispute about a locked thread is to contact the responsible moderator or admin, Niteowl in this case. Grimm has it right. Sorry for the inconvenience, but when we close a thread because people are just complaining about it, we don't do it to punish you, the maker of the thread. We do it to spare you from unnecessary and rude abuse.

Would someone please explain to me what "iirc" stands for? Is it like "In any case," or somesuch?
