Question about locked threads

I don't usually see locked threads, and when I do it's usually pretty clear why they got locked.

However I'm very puzzled why this thread got locked, so hopefully one of the moderators can help me understand:
http://www.teamfortress.tv/28738/color-values-for-yellow-crosshair#16

It started with a simple question, which was answered, and then there was a wider discussion about picking colors and different ways they get represented.

I guess I could see how some would see the extended discussion as off topic, but it absolutely fit into the starting question and I thought they were genuinely interesting replies.

Based on all of this I can't fathom why the thread was locked, so could someone enlighten me?

I'm actually curious as to why it was locked as well. Seems like a strange decision to make as the discussion although away from the original topic, was interesting in its own point. Isn't the point of these forums to be able to discuss things?

you're right: it shouldn't have been. moderators make mistakes sometimes; the thread's been unlocked.

I've never understood the idea of yellow crosshairs, they seem like they'd blend into the terrain on maps like gullywash or badlands. I've always used neon green, it stands out really well

Neon green here as well, but it's still a bit annoying on maps like sunshine or while looking up at baloo. Those maps are so white, they cant even dance.
