From a user standpoint there is no difference between a closed thread and a thread you don't click on.

I guess the 2 possible issues are either the few KB it takes up on the servers database for additional useless posts, or you could argue that when you click 'new posts' it is still there and frustrating to ignore, but if either of those 2 issues are bothering you, perhaps your life needs spicing up, or something to create meaning beyond the forums... may i suggest you get a puppy?
Actually I have a reta5ded dog and two cats that think they own the place.

I got my dog and 2 cats together in front on the computer monitor and asked them what they thought..

Reta5ded dog: "you know this is very similar to the massive PR1.2 thread that was active a few months ago. While I was chewing my bone I realised this is a common problem in this forum.
Many threads start of with good intentions and contain many useful posts. Eventually they start to degenerate into a collection of stupid comments that offer no meaningful value to the discussion and then when you try to search for something you have to wade through these comments and eventually you just give up..."

Cat 1: "Yeah I know what you mean! I want to install MeeGo on my n900 and searched this forum. It's really hard trying to find stuff sometimes"

Cat 2: "How many ways can you say the meego UX is not out yet. It's obvious its delayed. Isn't is better for it to be delayed for a little while and make sure it is in a basic usable state rather than release something sub-standard?"

Cat 1: "If anyone is serious about meego why don't you visit the meego website? It has a lot of information about meego on the n900. For example one of the blockers with the project is that the battery management software was crashing the device - I think it was doing this when it was charging I can't remember"

Reta5ded dog: "lwa completely missed the point of the original comment and rambled on about taking up space in databases and getting a puppy. I'm really offended by the last bit I'm a happy dog and my owner treats me well - the last thing I want is to compete with a puppy for my owner's attention. He also spends a lot of time with his family and does many other things beyond this forum."

Cat 1: "lwa must be human because no cat or dog would reply with something so stupid."

Reta5ded dog: "I hope my owner does not post our conversation on this thread because he will just add to the problem - but what do I know I'm reta5ded."
