Why is nearly every topic closed
First visit here in nearly a year and a bit dismayed to see the forum looking so awful.

Because they go off topic...and this was asked in another thread...don't know if by you or not...but a whole thread was not needed.

Wouldn't it be better to remove the thread rather than have the front page covered with closed threads. As I said it really does look awful and wouldn't look good to anyone visiting for the first time.

Well, whatever. Only a few topics are visited by more than two members.

And those ones usually stay either on topic or have an interesting topic going on in them.

Hey, some of them are Star Wars arguments going on, but yes, some of them are rather off topic.

I believe it's the owner's policy that we do not have threads deleted.

It is unless it's really offensive. And the simple reason is that your post count doesn't get affected by closed threads. They will by deleted threads.
Threads that go nowhere are closed so new ones get room.

Honestly, the quality of mods in the Star Wars forums hasn't always been as good as other forums (Comics Books, Philosophy etc..). No offense to queeq of course. Here's an example where a mod attempts to silence a critic of G.L. and then gets owned:

I'd like to share a revelation that I've had during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species that I realized you aren't actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with its surrounding environment, but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply, and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. And the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we...are the cure.
