Wha Happened....to the original thread?

theymos via BadBear locked the thread purportedly for being "off topic". really it was b/c we were talking about XT.

note how this thread is similarly off topic in that no one talks about gold for the most part. it's all about pushing the Core agenda and the mods don't have any problem with that.

I wasn't aware there was such a thing as "off topic" in any thread on BTT. What a bunch of horse shit.

i wasn't either; esp when it was my thread to begin with. but maybe that's their problem; me being the OP. plus, any moved thread normally leaves a courtesy notice for a day or so with the clear moniker [MOVED] attached with a link. not this time at_all. just vanished. and note how pages are disappearing from the locked thread as they go thru and censor parts they don't want read.

and just what is off topic in a thread that's lasted 4 years and has 1.45M views and 31K posts? for the several days right before it got locked it was racking up about 7000 views per day. that's how popular it was. but that's the pt isn't it? stop the popularity before it gets out of hand.

just look at the bullshit from BadBear:

The thread shouldn't have been hijacked in the first place, what a mess. The thread is mostly about XT now, and the only graphs posted are XT related.

It would be a lot of work to split or delete all the XT posts. Splitting is not easy to do in SMF, especially with large threads, and many posts to be split. So that isn't an option.

It could stay in speculation since the majority of the thread is relevant, but all XT chat from here on out to be moderated.

Might be better to just lock the thread since it's so far off track at this point.
