Why was my topic closed after about half an hour?

This is the one I'm talking about.

Dude come on, do you really have to ask that? There were a 100 threads you could have put that in, that didn't need an entirely new thread about the same stuff we've been discussing.

**vanzefflin** · 10.31.06, 11:43 AM

Closing....

Yeah, that was some vital info that warranted its own thread.

**smithjc** · 10.31.06, 11:46 AM

Wasn't it just more I don't know's?

**Van De Groep** · 10.31.06, 11:50 AM

Ok, ok. Damn. I'm sorry people, that I've posted it in a new topic. I just did this because I have this from a source very close to EVH and didn't want people to go to a 40+ pages long topic to find some "facts" from someone really "in-the-know".

My bad. I won't do it again. I promise.

**Van De Groep** · 10.31.06, 11:53 AM

And for the interested,.. this is what I've mailed in the first place

Subject; Please confirm. Possible Van Halen reunion?!

Hello.

*** Intro to my connection ***

Well, the reason I decided to contact you, is because I have heard and read a lot of rumors regarding a reunion between the Van Halen brothers and there first singer, David Lee Roth.

Can you possibly confirm this rumor and tell me some more about this? Is this true? Are they (the Van Halen brothers and David Lee Roth) talking about a reunion? If they pull it off, will the band also come overseas, to Holland, for instance? Are they going to record a new CD? Is it true that Michael Anthony is out, and Edward Van Halen's son Wolfgang is in? Is Van Halen going to be inducted in the Hall of Fame?

Hope to get an answer, because the last time I send an e-mail regarding Eddie Van Halen I did not got a reply.

Have a nice day.

If you don't give a fuck, than don't read!

As for the mods. You can close this one too. No problem.

**vh_chick** · 10.31.06, 01:01 PM

Besides the fact that it could have been added elsewhere, your "fact" says absolutely nothing! "Can't confirm or deny" is not hot information.

Don't feel offended. It's not a big deal.

ive had plenty of topics closed (some were dumb and my fault) but some were very halen related with nothing wrong and were closed for no apparent reason even if there wasnt any other related threads already started.
i have no idea brother. free speech doesnt apply here!

Don't be a half-wit. Weeding out redundancies is part of maintaining a message board.

Free speech is not the issue. Common sense and a lack of clutter is. In your case, you admit that you have had several topics closed, yet only some (

) were dumb and your own fault. And you remain clueless as to their closure, so you claim that your free speech is abridged.

Maybe the fact that your threads were closed focused on either their utter stupidity, or the fact that having more than one thread on essentially the same subject is pointless.

Want to start a thread? Try looking to see if one already exists first, rather than offering some genuinely moronic remarks about violations of your free speech, ya dim-bulb.

My 5 year old has a very close connection to EVH as well! As soon as he get's home from kindergarden I should have confirmation as to the validity to all of these rumors...hang tight folks!!!
