I really don't have a side here, I'm not siding with Darlene because personally I don't think that a thread should ever be closed due to the fact that my philosophy is that once a thread has served its purpose (not meaning that questions are answered, but that it is no longer entertaining to the viewers of the board) the thread will die. With this said, I'm not taking the side of everybody else that is complaining, because although what I just said is true for some forum boards, these particular boards have a set of rules, one rule being that the staff have the power to judge for themselves when they feel a thread has become no more than off-topic chatter, and then close said thread. Just because the rule isn't written does not mean that it doesn't exist, I'm sure you guys would much rather Darlene just close the thread than mark all of the off-topic talk in the thread as spam and start giving each of you points for what is essencially spam.

Sorry if anything I've said pisses anybody off, but you guys are getting way too bent out of shape over some stupid stuff. Quit acting like you're 12 years old, most of you in this thread are 18 years old or over, start acting like it.

It isn't exactly that thread in specific. It has been done over and over again. It's the rule (or lack thereof) in general that we're talking about. That thread just happens the be the latest and most blatant example.
