The mods sometimes lock threads so they have the time to read through and get an idea of the larger problem (if one exists).

^That definitely does not apply here; the thumped post was the first post in more than a year.

Huh. Maybe it was because it was a necro? Idk.

I read the post before it was thumped. No idea why it was thumped, they were just posting some headcanon they had. Totally harmless stuff.

Perhaps the mod who did it felt like it was too off topic for the thread. I do remember it was Wario related, but now that I think about it, I agree with you it was somewhat harmless. Anyways I still want to know why it was locked.

You can only write so much in your forum signature. It's not fair that I want to write a piece of writing yet it will cut me off in the mid

Too be fair, it's a bit redundant with the general Mario thread. The Mario thread is fairly broad in scope already, and it's not like the Wario thread got much traffic anyway.

Eh, maybe people would talk about Wario Land and other platformers in a Mario general thread, but games like WarioWare?

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

We have a Donkey Kong thread, a Paper Mario thread. It is not against the rules to have threads pertaining to subseries, so again I don't see the problem with the thread and why it was locked.
