I've seen a bunch of locked forums and i think that they would be better left then locked. Sometimes new ideas come up that can support an idea that may sound irrelevent. I think you should just let them be and see what comes out of it. The only time I think a topic should be locked is if someone is flaming someone else real bad. If the topic goes off subject who cares eventually it will get back to the main point.
Just my 2 cents

my 2 cents from a fellow worst poster ever...
in the past i have made many off-topic posts that had to be countlessly deleted by other mods, have made threads locked due to my posts, or just made posts that were off-topic. i have had disputes with people over it, had people PM me about the whole situation, and just plain got yelled at. i guess you could call me the rebel or outcast mod cause i'm a somewhat bad poster. but hey, fine with me. who cares if the posts are off-topic. if somebody makes an off-topic post, then ignore it. IT'S THAT SIMPLE. you don't have to read every single friggin post. or if the thread goes off-topic completely, then whatever then. just let it run its course. if the thread consists of half off-topic posts, then you gotta problem. it's probably time to lock it. or, if somebody is bashing another person and making them look bad, then HELP OUT. just try to resolve the situation or something, and if it gets bad then lock it. what i'm saying is just read carefully and then lock it. thanx for reading

i somewhat agree with you two on this one, somehow all post regarding speculation or introducing yourself seem to be locked instead of moved, if we start speculating about something just move it and let to 2003 rumors, or if someone introduces themself on the forums you dont need ot lock it, just move it to the anyhting goes forum.

If a topic didn't fit 2003 rumors I never locked it I moved it to its appropriate board. As far as off topic threads, they annoy some people and others aren't bothered by it. Personally, MOST off topic threads don't annoy me too much, the only time they really annoy me is when to peole start having like a casual conversation in a thread, thas what PMing is for people. I don't know I'm very stuck in that area totally locking the thread seems too harsh yet just leaving it isn't good and chewman, dragon, stussy, linkinpark, and myself are not gonna read and go over each thread and delete every post that goes off topic, that would take too long. So I'm stuck in that area I don't know which way to go there.
