I considered splitting that thread and locking the [split] thread, but basically everyone who replied was just laughing at the statistics and saying how wrong they were, so I doubted the thread would go anywhere if it stayed open.

I'd be happy to split it and re-open it if you want to continue the discussion (just PM me or report the first post), but I'm not sure where to split it. The Australian violence sidetrack started at this post IMO, but that post is actually on-topic.

Often I don't bother posting a reason for closing a thread because I think it's kinda obvious to anyone who reads the whole thread... that thread clearly devolved into an off-topic and mean-spirited back-and-forth, and the last post by Adeptus seemed like a good note to end it on.

Nah it's fine. I thought it was interesting, but obviously everyone else disagreed. Thanks anyway.

To be honest Traxor, these forums aren't anything like they used to be. In the good old days you and James were the "class clowns" these days you're one of the more mature members. But everything changes, people move on and these forums are no exception. Yes it sucks that 99% of the awesome members are gone, but unless we have some sort of IRC reunion there really isn't much we can do about it. I guess you just have to hang around more and get a feel of the place now.

that i agree with.
