Why does DIR reject quick disconnects?

Well, here's a view from *outside* the cult. bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla

*yawn*

don't care how you dive. i'm quite sure that 'DIW' isn't going to kill you. at the same time i don't care one bit about any of your opinions (sorry if that hurts, but i expect you don't care about mine either). this is the DIR forum, please go away and potificate somewhere else.

This thread started in April, 2004, and ended about a month later in May, 2004.

It died a merciful death, until you resurrected it from the grave this morning and began your rant where it left off.

FWIW, you don't have to dig through any archives since the old ones always show up as the related threads at the bottom of each page. Why they don't automatically lock old threads, say with more than 1 year of inactivity, is beyond me.

What I don't see is the sense of dragging out a year-dead thread just to bash around people who do their thing their own way and don't bother anyone else while doing it.

Maybe because it is fun? Maybe to spark a little discord? I don't know, I am just grasping at straws here.

But when we do as we are told, anotherwords, do a search, how can we join in on the fight if the 4 year old thread is locked?

it maybe old to scuba veterans but there are new entrants to the boards and that's what makes this forum Dynamic !!!

the topic/s is/are timeless .....

maybe somepeople have AGED ....

Personally, when I've gotten interested in a subject (like BP/W, or DIR) I scoured all of the old posts on the subject to get every bit of information/opinion I could to learn about it. I found that very useful, and having the old thread open to new posts (as long as it stays on subject, which this one ie drifting away from...) prevents the need for a new thread on the subject.

I see what you are saying, but many of these threads have maybe been too dynamic! A lot of times things have evolved, but the old arguments seem to sit out there as bait for someone to pull up and revive the angry accusations and insults. Not to mention that many of the people doing the original arguing haven't even been on the board in eons.

Besides, if you really wanted to revisit the topic you could always start a new post.

But when we do as we are told, anotherwords, do a search, how can we join in on the fight if the 4 year old thread is locked?
