It seems like most (I have not checked all) of the other manufacturer forums don't close threads, but in this forum they seem to be closed after a couple of replies. I'm wondering the rationale?
why are there so many closed threads in this sub forum?

I'll answer this, since this has been asked and answered already... and hopefully save Harry and Kate the trouble.
Because that's how SCUBAPRO wants to do it. Questions are asked, and then answered. They feel (and this is their preference, since it's their forum) additional discussion isn't required once the question has been answered, and closing the thread prevents additional banter and/or debate after an official answer has been given.
If you have a desire to discuss or debate more about any of these products in a public forum, there are other forums on ScubaBoard to discuss these products. This particular forum is where you'd receive an official response from SCUBAPRO.
Thanks.

My first thought was, they probably feel their finite time is better spent on other duties as opposed to monitoring SB on a full-time basis...
The purpose of these forums never was to debate policy. The purpose was always to have the opportunity to ask for information regarding a product.
As John states, he is 100% correct. These Q&A Forums are not for debates, but for questions and answers. There are special rules for Q&A forums, and they apply to all of the SB Q&A Forums. If anyone needs a refresher... The rules are here -> http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/q-scuba-manufacturers/247154-special-rules-q-forums.html

Also I would venture a guess that part of the reason is so that people can't post rude comments that are offtopic and unnecessary after the question has been answered.
On that note. I'm closing this thread, as the question has been adequately answered, and rude offtopic comment also handled.
Thanks.
