I've noticed quite a few topic locks when they are not necessary. Can we install a button which will put the topic for all mods and admins to see which should be unlocked. An example is this: http://www.ibotmodz.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=13151 That thread was good, and could have been taken far. Although there was a bit of flamage, I think that thread had a good intention. That is not the only one, I have seen quite a few in the past.
AIM is the best. I don't know why everyone don't use it, all my friends use it because most people had AOL and that is how we communicated back in the day. In my opinion it is the best client.
I doubt he cares what was leaked, even if it was a stupid program. It is just the fact of leaking from the site's private section. It's funny I can't even post in there because the past 2 times my topic was immediately locked.
