new forum?

Hey all,

I've noticed that when discussions get too heated or ranty on the forums they get locked. Now I'm not saying that admins are necessarily wrong to do this, but it is a little annoying, to read through an entire thread and go to add to the discussion and find you can't. Maybe if these threads get too heated for public consumption they could get moved to a separate forum? So that people don't have to look at the angst if they don't want to, but the people that do want to can? Maybe this is a stupid idea...but a lot of what I like about this game is the ability to interact with my fellow players, and I seem to keep getting slammed out as the door locks...lol
