Locking threads

[Oldpath05]

I thought it was strange that a welding thread got shut down but now is reopened, I think someone sneezed on their laptop and now we all need to be tested.

Thread is back open. No one knows why those two threads both closed at the same time this afternoon. :confused3:

Please continue the conversation.

Thanks Moss, Hope "they" can figure it out so the hack does not happen again.

What part of "no one knows why it was closed" do you not understand?

LoL...Conspiracy theorists would say that sounds like a "cover up"...:laughing:

That's how a conspiracy works.


Them boys on the grassy knoll,
they were dead within three hours.


Buried in the **** desert.
Unmarked graves out past Terlingua.


And you know this for a fact?


Still got the shovel.

I'm an optimist. I would assume all Mods were above doing it just to flex their muscles.

I don't know enough about the workings of the site to pass judgement on whether a member could do it or not. I know of one member that would do it if he could.

I know nothing about hackers. But I'd assume they'd do more than lock a couple threads.

You know that Halloween is just around the corner when the darned poltergeists start showing up. Time was that they would wait until after Labor Day...

This reminds me of when our company’s bank (hint: stage coach logo) mistakenly closed our payroll checking account one Friday evening. Talk about being in a panic on Monday morning. Somebody clicked the wrong box with their mouse.

That's only happened to me once in the 16 years that I've worked with this company... they let us know what happened as soon as the money didn't hit our accounts (mandatory DD) and offered to pay for any overdraft fees.

We were mostly still issuing paper checks at the time, just under 1,000 each Friday. The bank covered all overdrafts plus $50 gift card to each person affected along with an apology letter. Upside was we got offered the use of the banks football tickets and suites at sporting events a lot more often for a while afterwards. Not worth it by a long shot.
