Why lock a topic?

[NancyKay]

Just a question. I was just reading a topic, and then Yanita said she was "locking" it cause it was getting long. I was just wondering what is the reason for locking off a thread? Is it for space reasons? Or some computer reason? I was just wondering....

Hi Nancy,

I believe I said in that thread that it was getting long...tired of scrolling to get to the next post. Typically when they get real long, the replies are redundant info.

I believe or at least I generally do complete my post with please feel free to start another...and you may.

Have a great day!

Hi Nancykay,

Yes, we do try to keep on topic around here. Yanita is in charge of deciding when a topic gets off skew.

We all know that you might want to continue a topic or discussion. Please feel free to start a new thread! We all welcome new topics!

We're just trying to keeP each post fresh, like Greg mentioned!

If someone does post on an old thread, does it move that thread back to the top of the list?

[Yanita]
