I'm personally fine with the thread being open. I've never been a fan of, nor have I ever understood the 'locking' mechanism employed here. I feel it removes ready access to past detailed discussions, conversations and history. I have no problem wit…

Excellent point @DaltonCraig007. Just on the evidence of how active the 'next Bond actor' thread has been over the past three years, I can only imagine that the B26 thread is going to take things to a whole new level.
