Why'd the other one get locked?

I'll edit this post to provide details/links in a bit.

The old thread was getting off topic, and people were posting to try to get the thread to a high post level... All wrong.

Were there any long, useless debates all over it? That would be a good reason.

I still think it was because of Eidos.

The new thread is a chance to get things back on topic. If it continues to be spammy or off topic, then it will be locked.

Not only will people talk about Jeff, but also as to why you locked the previous thread.

You just spammed it twice :P

Does Jeff have a blog or something outside of GS? I understand that their policy won't let them go into details, but he can elaborate if he wants to right? Wonder why he wouldn't.

You know what? Personally, there's no reason to have this thread. The Jeff deal is over with. People have said what they wanted to say in regards to Jeff, and they have been told nothing satisfactory. Let's just move on.

Agreed. Nothing against you, solidruss, but there is no point to this.

There is no need for a thread on this subject anymore. As you can tell, nobody cares so it's not like you're going to see threads popping in and out about Jeff like there's no tomorrow.

Fair enough. The People have spoken. New topics will be moderated accordingly...
