Why close my "Plato's Stepchildren" thread?

[Chrisisall]

Admittedly it was goofy, and maybe in poor taste (I was referrin' to the kissing, nothing more), but dude...

(Actually, I also thought it was funny... and different from all the "Facts about..." threads.)

Well, I'm not too worried about goofy or taste where this was concerned, but if the thread title was the setup, your first post was the punchline and my

was the kicker, then it's pretty much "joke over", right? There's not really anywhere left to go with it.

Also, this first post in the pinned "Forum Guidelines" thread at the top of the forum explains that, while we will allow a few funny threads to run if they show evidence of a little creative thought having gone into them, threads which consist of no more than setup/punchline are generally going to be closed, as we have had some problems in the past with them spawning copycat joke threads and cluttering the place up. It's nothing personal, but we do want to remember that the forum is primarily for discussing the movie.

Typically, what you'd do first is to PM the moderator or moderators for the forum and, if unable to resolve things that way, to post a thread in the Moderator Actions forum, but I really don't think there's enough here worth making that big a deal of it. Since I'm pretty sure you don't have enough posts yet to send PMs, we can handle the explanation here, which I have endeavored to do above.
