i would just like to post somthing on the new gidelines being set up for tis site, i have a fealing this thread is going to be closed so reply soon lol. my first question is Why are we closing threads? what harm is it doing to leave threads open? if they are not popular, they usually get rid of themslves, and to be honest, most of the topics discussed are never really closed for discussion, i may post up something in 2003 and maybe not get a reply untuil 2004, it doesn't make much sense to me, f my post ( https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=23088 ) had been closed befor this went into effect, i would never have gotten vilal information that i needed for this experiment, it probably would have been shut down very early and i would not have had a sucsessfull discussion. The fact is that while closing posts and or threads ma make the dministrator's job easyer, it really infringes the purpose of the site; to engage discussion on physics issues. I have seen people in these fourums discuss amazing things and those discussions may not have hapened if those discussions had been closed.

P.S. i also don't understand why posting in theory development is no longer allowed but i assume that if a thread attains to that section is made, it will be moved there
