Title: Unable to close thread why?
Post by: cactux on Tue, 02 August 2011, 20:31:59

I tried to close one of my thread in Group buy area and some how the close thread option is not enable. Do you know if that is normal ?

BTW I already I sent an email to iMav requesting to close the thread and nothing happened. It does not make seance, if the OP is not longer willing to have an open thread he/shell shall be able to close it.

For whatever reason, the group buy forum does not allow you to close your thread.  That's just the way it's set up.

Thanks for the clarification, but this is bad idea. What is the point to keep a thread open if you do not have any more items to offer. the only thing that is going to happen is that further threads are going to more likely go out of topic or just spam.

A Geekhack Group Buy never ends.

Group Buy 3 is the perfect example of this.

If you do not have nothing else to sell technically is DONE. What is the point to keep a tread open if the group buy is done ???
