Poll question: At what point should threads be locked
As thread count increases, people with 56k modems (for that, read "most of us") have to wait longer and longer before posting or replying or reading.

2. Most Threads Fade Away On Their Own
The "How Quickly Will This Thread Die?" thread was an exception. It turned into an exercise to see how long a thread could get.

4. Well, I'm hoping my little poll carries on in the tradition!
:evilgrin:

I'll admit I was curious as to how far that post would go... though, being 56k myself, I never opened it after it got beyond 100. Impatience is one of my virtues...

3. Depends on content
take this one for example. It should be locked at three (or less) replies because it should be in the Ask the Administrators forum.
