Granted, but spurred on by knowing that your topic will never be locked, you create more topics, of greatly inferior quality. The mods may have decided to never lock your topics, but they're still enforcing the 'treat everybody equally' rule, so everybody else does the same. Eventually, the forums collapse into a steaming heap of spam, porn, and drivel. YOU JUST RUINED THE NIFFORUM, ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
I wish I had an infinitely powerful computer.
