Why are all these topics locked?

http://psp.brewology.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=150

About 90% of the topics in this section are locked and several of them are reviews and people talking about the games?
I understand that there are a lot of Savegame topics but why lock about everything else? :?

I dunno. Are they doubled? Are they sucky games?

Are there any logs of who locked them? If so lets find them and ask that person why they were locked.
The programmers you will one day be looking to hire are the ones reading the tech news sites right now.

And they will remember...

They were locked because a spam bot was continually spamming that whole entire section, and at the time the only way to stop it was to lock every topic on the first page. I'm surprised no one even asked about it until like a month later XD

It's not the religion that causes wars, it's the men who use religion as a means to control people that do.

Now that the question is settled I would find it funny if this post were deleted and this topic was locked.

No, it was some spam bot that was making two replies to every thread with links to Australian realty offices. Personally I think it was Brent but that's just me. :p
