Wrath Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) No, people won't be that stupid. This is the main thread. It always stays open. Oh, c'mon Baumer. You know better than that. *OF COURSE* someone will be that stupid. How about closing this thread, starting a new one, and then editing the titles to make the new one the main thread? Keeping the predictions in an unlocked thread for the next few months is like buying all your Halloween candy in August and then telling all your housemates in which unlocked closet you're keeping it. You can't really complain when late October rolls around and the only thing left in the closet is empty wrappers.
