Why do all the training camp threads get locked?

I'm fairly sure the mods leave them open till the morning following the day of the practice the thread was written about. At that point they're moved to the Training Camp subforum and locked.

The next day, a new thread gets posted based on that day's observations; locking the prior thread preserve a chronological order within the TC subforum and keeps people from talking about today's practice on a three day old thread.

Yeah but I wasnt done with one of them. I was conversating and now I am locked. :mad:

Maybe it would be smarter to PM one of the mods instead of wasting a thread on a question that most of us can't answer? - Right?

Actually pm'ing a MOD wouldn't provide the answer to all of us.. And I'd like to know the reason :)

Good point, because they threads are so very valuable. Pats Patriots or Flying Elvis?

Archiving - but only after a few days of exposure.

You know, the poetic response to this would have been to just lock this thread as well.....;)
