Let me guess, when this thread was originally started, a lot of crap happened? I'm just kinda hazarding a guess since I wasn't here when the original thread was started.
More or less.
- My argument was that discussion was never going to exist on this thread (I was wrong on that point.)
- The main counter arguments was that there shouldn't be two Pony threads (I could agree somewhat, but I'm still not opposed to two serving different purposes.)
- Another argument was that we could simply change the nature of the thread so that it was discussion-based (which I think is a poor argument, because that assumes that anyone person can easily change the status quo.)
The thread was closed for none of those reasons. The mod locking it said that the thread wasn't serving its intended purpose (implying, on some level, that the purpose wasn't the immediate problem,) and told those opposed to the thread to simply not post in the thread and wait for it to be locked. So I felt vindicated in the midst of having to argue my point.
EDIT:
I bet you meant this thread (General,) not the locked thread (Discussion.)
I've read through the entire thread up to this point. It was more people who were still trying to understand the show and fandom and less people being annoyed by the fandom.
