Is this a Kirkby thread about the Kirkby thread!
No mate, it's a thread discussing the continued locking of threads about Kirkby. I'm surprised it's not locked.

If anyone cares to know, I merged the thread into the previously closed Kirkby thread.
Why you ask?
Cause frankly, I'm tired of hearing the same song, 45th verse with really nothing new being added to the discussion.
Some of you may say that is a bit harsh and you may be right. But I haven't seen any discussion about Kirkby on this forum turn out for the better. It just gets worse and worse and deteriorates to the point of no return. The pro-Kirkby people put their tired old views forward for the 50th time and the anti-Kirkby respond for the 50th time with their tired old views and vice versa.
Nothing productive comes from it and it ends up being a slanging match.
Sorry, that's just how I see it.

Locking it is the way to go, if new members want to know why Kirkby cannot be discussed then they can check the Kirkby thread that has been locked. I'd wager that whatever they have to say about Kirkby has already been discussed in that thread and until something major unfolds about destination kirkby it's best to keep a lid on that can of worms.
This forum prides itself on it's cheerful disposition towards everton and evertonians in general. But, when a Kirkby thread is opened all hell breaks lose. The place becomes much less approachable for new members who don't want to be slated for views about what is definitely the most controversial topic any Everton forum has at the moment.

I got most of my threads from the market or Burtons when I grew up there. Well the ones not handed down by the neighbours anyway.
Turns out Kirkby is actually a place!

The people who want it open will predominantly be the people adament we should stay in Liverpool. Those pro Kirkby will be happy to let the club get on with things and therefore not need to discuss it.
However I do think one should be open (not sticky) for those that wish to discuss it, those that are bored of it all (like myself) dont have to view it.

there is another way.
Lock it and sticky it.
That way, somebody new comes on, they can peruse at their leisure AND IF THEY HAVE ANYTHING NEW TO SAY, they can start a thread to be merged with it... and if it's nothing new, which it isn't likely to be for a while, they can stfu or get tw@tted with the ban hammer.
If the thread is locked and NOT stickied and disappears out of sight, newbies will automatically assume that the biggest thing to happen at the club in a hundred or so years hasn't occurred to us, and will no doubt regale us with their revelations.
Lock it and sticky it, best of both worlds and will save some serious mod headache-age

I voted for a sticky thread. Bottom line is tha we need a thread. The fact that I am bored of us chasing our own tails doesn't detract for the need to have prominant Kirkby thread.
I will then only dip in when something breaks, it makes the site more democratic, in that the subjects can't be said to be fixed, and of course it allows for "debate".
I would though consider adding an FAQ (from both sides of the fence) about Kirkby which would be locked. It willset out the arguments and act as a refernce point for the more technical aspect of the debate e.g. Can you really develop the Loop.
If a newbie doesn't know about Kirkby by now, I would question what type of supporter they are. It would be like a nuclear bomb has been set off and that person has no knowledge of it.
Anyway, that's my tuppence worth.
