An Admin Rant

[Spongebob]

I believe the point in mentioning other forums is to suggest alternative ways of administering the forum that seem to work elsewhere.

And I believe that's all I'll say given the attitudes of some here.

For the most part, yes.  It seemed pretty obvious to me.  I hadn't seen it as an issue before, but apparently here it practically drives people nuts.  My first reaction was, why is that?  I don't feel that curiosity itself is a justification for scorn.

For the record, I was an admin on that forum and all the admins decided to close a number of stale threads mainly because spammers kept posting on them.  I don't remember anyone getting their panties in a wad just because an old thread was revived by someone who wanted to discuss the topic.
