Hear me out.
When there were more threads locked, we had to make new threads to be able to post something. The content was boiling, OT was lively. With Uni rarely locking, I have noticed the forum started to slow down. A lot. Stupid threads popped up that were never locked, causing stale content. This eventually causes a feedback loop where the forum cools down enough that memes and inside jokes die down too, which causes even more stale and unrelated content. We need to raise the heat again!
