Locked?

[Tinkman1]

Hey guys! Quick question here, I hope I don't sound too stupid asking it. Why do all of these topics get locked? I understand some of them, but I was just reading one where it was a good post and for some reason it just gets locked my a moderator. Any explanations for me?

We lock all articles after they're published on the front page.

1. To prevent thread bumping that makes us think that we need to go look at something new. This is a business forum first, for people to read and discuss and suggest improvement on new articles.

2. So that new discussion on published articles goes to the comments on those articles. People read articles more when there are more comments. More reading = more pageviews = better for TTP.
