Thanks again for the information Bex. Looks like the problem is fixed.
Creation is the belief held by the owner, the locked threads reflect that. Disabling of new posting is his business and starting new ones up is obviously in his hands (who holds the reins?). Certainly the bias in the science room doesn't allow nearly as much freedom of speech as Russ does here....but if you find other creation/evolution forums more to your liking, then you got the pick of many over the net.
I agree that Russ and Laura get to set the agenda and the operation of their website, no problem. At the moment I don't have anything that would be better on a new thread, so it is not that big a deal.
...new threads may help start things off afresh again on a clean slate....though I'd imagine it will be a case of history repeating itself somehow But I understand your point.
As I said I also participate on another forum where rambling is the usual course of action, and there is no thread that stays on topic. Anarchy reins, but in a generally jocular bantering manner that restores one's faith in humanity (ie no major flame wars). It's not a problem as long as you understand how the forum works
I've also known creationist forums that shut down any dissent from the creationist position, even from other christians, and am happy to see that (so far) this site does not follow that pattern.
I've also been on forums where the number of posts on any one thread is limited, and staying on topic is fairly strictly controlled, and that isn't always easy to comply with either.
Enjoy.

Note: my time is limited, so I only choose threads of particular interest to me and I cannot guarantee a reply to all responses (particularly if they do not discuss the issue/s),
and I expect other people to do the same. Thank you for your consideration.[/color]
