    Why are almost all the Batman Forum topics locked?

    That has been discussed in the submissions thread. As I said in there, If no one comes in here for months at a time and doesn't talk about it, then i'll close it off.

    If someone comes in and see that it is closed, then they can start up a new topic. I don't see a point in keeping something open if no one is going to talk about it. See the bolded red item

    Here's the section from the TOS regarding Disruptive Posting

    Posts that disrupt the message boards for other users, intentional or not, are prohibited. This includes, but is not limited, to:

    Message posts or topic titles that force browsers to scroll horizontally
    Large blank or content-free posts
    Posts that consist only of quotes, or quotes plus an unsubstantial reply ("Okay" - "Yeah!" - "LOL" - smile), or just an unsubstantial reply.
    Excessive quoting (i.e., quoting a ten-paragraph post to respond to one sentence)
    "Bumping" older topics (posting in them well after the last post and/or primarily to keep them near the top of a forum)
    Posting multiple identical or near-identical messages or topics, including "fad" topics
    Intentionally hard-to-read topic titles and thread content (i.e. ALL CAPS, AlTeRnAtE cApS, no spaces, no or excessive punctuation, 1337 speak, et cetera)
    Posting multiple hard-to-read or absurd messages in a single or multiple topics
    Posting large ASCII art (except in social topics specifically calling for it)
    Post counting (i.e. "First", "100th Post")
    Posting a browser hijack link (i.e. Rick Roll - this warrants 5 day suspension)
