Pervasive evilness on the technical end of things has caused a few problems of the insectoid nature when it comes to the forum's ability to load really long threads... And guess where most of those are located 
I'm afraid everything over 150 posts will have to bite the padlock as a precautionary measure for now. Charles is investigating how to remove the ant's nest, so to speak. God Bless Charles.
Feel free to open a "continuation of" thread for everything I lock, which'll be only the newish threads. Please don't go dragging up the 150-posts-plus threads from ages past that I won't be locking. And as a special note for Jeff, please don't go dragging up the 150-posts-plus threads from ages past that I won't be locking.
Anyway, I hope this explains the appearance of the padlocks. Moderator Out.
