Why?
For starters, it is useless to put "closed" in a new post, because everybody can see the thread is closed.
1st point I agree altho you kinda argue against yourself; why do you put a (non-direct) link to the Messenger Plus! homepage when everyone knows where/what it is and they can find the download there themselves?
Those two things are totally and obviously different. It doesn't contradict at all a link given as referrer...
If you are reading a thread, you obviously see that it is closed or not. There is absolutely no point in adding "closed" as a last post.
And people stumbling on these forums may not know the official homepage of plus. As a matter of fact search the forums and see for yourself, examples enough...
and "non-direct" link? as far as I see all links are proper direct links.

Exactly... And this is done in another big messenger forum, and when I see such posts I always get the idea that they only want to beef up their own postcounts because it is very obvious that a thread is closed, you don't need to state it again.
and almost the same goes with those "moved" posts; although that is sometimes handy to know at which point a thread was moved.
