I leave for a few days and come back and the damn thing's locked.

It's no longer free for all...

It went pay-to-win.

I tried to ask that to the guy who closed it, but he has me on JerkMuter. :P

I tired to ask it:
https://www.gog.com/forum/general/conversational_freeforall_thread_1

What happened he went full douche bag?

I don't know, I tried to ask him that but he has me blocked. :P

I tried to block you but was told I was not allowed to type all in caps.

it became free to play

but seriously
the thread starter asked it to be locked and it was locked

Yeah but it doesn't seem anyone was disrupting it, etc. Just seemed to come out of no where.

There were some veiled references by one or two thread regulars (after it closed) that they had decided to take their conversations elsewhere.
I'm not sure I ever posted in there, and seldom even checked it, but I know that, just a short time before it was locked, the OP got low-rated enough to gray the thread out in the forum view; that may have had something to do with CarrionCrow's decision to ask that it be locked.

The main post was being downvoted constantly, they didn't want the thread to get deleted.
Don't believe GOG would do anything if that did happen. ;P
