The following thread (with a TECH prefix has been relegated to the BS and for some reason - has now been closed.

Closing threads

This was the original question asked in that thread.

Is there some technical advantage given to the general effective running of our forum - by the closing of threads?

Does it make the site less technically effective in any way or make it run slower - if all threads are left open for new contributions?

If you wish to know the answer – you will have to click on the link – but you will not be able to post to it. Unless of course you kindly ask our anonymous volunteer fellow posters to re-open it – to enable you to do this.

I can't see any reason why it should have been closed. The "close thread" link is in a location where a volunteer could click it accidentally and not notice, so it may have been closed inadvertantly. Whatever the case, I don't think it should have been closed. I reopened the thread.
