The thread originator seriously wanted to know what had become of BVD and there was actually a little debate about the pro's and con's of his tenure. There was a little rancor in the thread as well, but nothing that doesn't go on in probably 25% of the threads on this site (and 100% of threads with mention of Dan McCarney).
What criteria does a moderator use when determining whether or not a thread should be locked?
I for one thought it was a legitimate topic! Can you unlock it?
FREE BVD! FREE BVD! FREE BVD!
P.S. I love the site!
Most of the people that run this site understand it for what it is (yes Jeremy I AM talking about you), a forum for people to get into and discuss/argue all things Iowa State. I believe that it was designed to be a free flowing discussion, and as long as noone is attacked on a personal level, then anything should be fair game.
The problem is that there are SOME, I REPEAT SOME, moderators who consider themselves the perfect fan, and all should aspire to be like them, and root for Iowa State in their perfect way. When there are people of dissenting opinions on board, and they make their feelings known, it disrupts the moral utopia that some of the these people wish for. You have seen the people on here that try to guide the debate as it happens, we ALL know who they are.
I love this site as well, Jeremy does a hell of a job, and I like a lot of the people on this site, even the ones that don't agree with me

I think everything will cool down IF Dan McCarney ever gets a job. Some of these people need it, because they invested so much in the guy. The problem is that the clock is ticking down. There aren't too many jobs left out there.
