This lock on weekends thing is getting old. DNC has a big election to talk about today and we got nothing
RPR gets locked on some weekends, but not every weekend. If there is a specific topic to discuss, though, then make a topic for it. You're still allowed to do that - the whole section isn't shut down.
I don't mind the moderators deciding they want an occasional weekend without having to field complaints from and about people who can't behave, though, and RPR is pound-for-pound the #1 source of stupid *** for mods to deal with. Second place is probably bazaar threads, but it's such a distant second that I couldn't even tell you for sure.
