ALL POSTSClosing game threads
<p>On a recently closed hurt and heal, I made the following comment:
</p><p>"<i>I don't think that's </i>(the closing of the thread)<i> necessary. I'm not sure where people started closing threads immediately after a game ended, but it's not even a rule. There's no reason to close it right after the game ends since users can say congratulations, comment on the winner, and/or suggest new hurt and heals after the winner is decided.</i>"
</p><p>In my opinion, it should only be closed if it is very controversial, off topic, or necroposted on. I don't think there's a need to close every hurt and heal within 1 day of the winner being announced.
</p><p>I am posting this here so that the rest of the discussion mods can be notified of this. There's no rule that says game threads should be closed after they end. If they are attracting a lot of controversy, going off-topic, reaching the 500 post limit, and/or being a victim of necroposting, then it should be closed.
</p><p>In the first hurt and heals on the wiki, after the winner was decided users were able to comment of the winner, give suggestions about future hurt and heals, and link to the next/newer hurt and heals. With moderators suddenly closing all the threads that end, this is not possible.
</p><p>Moderators: If you have all agreed on closing them for any reason, please at least give threads a couple of days for users to post after the game ends.

<p>The only reason I closed game threads is because if the game has ended, there would be no point in keeping it opened. If it has become an issue I’ll stop closing threads.

<p>There is a point of keeping it opened. I have made at least 3 examples of what users can do after the game ends in my post.
</p><p>You closing threads isn't an issue. This post was me explaining why they shouldn't be closed immediately. </p>

It's not fun when there are so many of them. The number of game threads is really overwhelming nowadays and I think users should calm down with them a bit. There's so many of them they flood the wiki activity. I miss the times when the game threads were quality over quantity.

<p>Well I have to admit, there are some hurt and heals that have nothing to do with SpongeBob or this wikia. All of these kinds of threads should be closed so it will reduce the amount of activity coming from the board thread side of the wikia.

<p>this is why i would love it if the fourms move to discussions as recent activity is is flooded with the fourms. </p>
