[QUOTE="UprootedDreamer"]Are you my best friend from across the land? Cause it's freaky on how we like the same stuff.:P[/QUOTE]

Do you also like Tomb Raider?

Do you have a special "lock thread phrase" you use when you lock a thread?

-----

One signature lock phrase? Not so much. When it came to old thread bumps I might have just made a simple note of how old it was signifying the lock. I did have a phrase I used a few times, "Remember folks, always check the thread's expiration date"

Sometimes when threads are made outside the sticky, I just make a simple note to take their discussion there. But at times I got creative too with lines like;

Look! Up at the top of the board.
It's a bird. It's a plane. It's a STICKY!!
And that's where this should have been ;)

I also liked to adapt my styIe, incorporating the content of the OP when locking it. I REALLY had to go back into my post history (about 90 pages) to find some other of my favourite gems...

There was an old thread bump about KOTOR, so I capped it off with, "This thread has become one with the Force. Leave it be in peace."

In a thread asking why can't we have peace in SW, the TC makes this opening statement, "I mean we all know pc>>>consoles why must we fight? Fighting is counter productive pc gamers should spend more time keeping our rigs up to date and console players should be busy worshipping us pc players"

So I lock it with the closing comment, "aaaaaaaaaaaand this is why we can't have peace on this forum :roll::roll: "

A user creates a list topic about what's so great about on platform, and what's terrible about the other. My closing remark, "Here's something else to add the list, 11. Generalizations make for bad topics"

In a thread avoiding a sticky that was titled, "I don't get it. Why get a WiiU?" I closed with, "I don't get why people keep creating threads outside the sticky?".

Topic that compared Microsoft to Justin Bieber and their use of celebrity endorsements, I locked it with, "I know people like to insult platforms here, but you REALLY need to tone it down there. plus no need to drag innocent celebrities through the mud"

A sticky dodging topic with the title, "Did WiiU just get pwned by GoW3?" So I locked it with the comment, "No, but this thread got pwned by the sticky ;) "

This topic asked, "Does Nintendo need to release another controller with the WiiU?", which inspired my closing comment, "What we don't need is the release of another thread when there's currently a STICKY ;) "

"This Gen ends when WiiU comes out" said the topic creator. "The Sticky is the end of this thread", I said in return.

One very bizarre thread given that it was in SW asking Health or Wealth. That invoked my response, "What. The *BLEEP*. Does this have to do with System Wars? Or even gaming for that matter? :? "

Somebody bumped a really old thread in the PC & Mac games board, so I locked it with, "Threads, like PC tech becomes obsolete. Always go for the new model ;) "

A topic with the title, "Consoles do nothing but hurt gaming", made me say "Threads like this hurt the forums and the gaming community everywhere."

Seeing this statement made in the OP, "Ugh, why I am I even trying to help you people, all you want is your lame Uncharted 6, & COD 11. Anyway for any wide-open minded people check this game out." prompted my closing remark, "Don't presume to talk as if you know what's best for the rest of us, or what games are unworthy of the industry."
