Hello group, new guy to this forum. I'm also registered on the OMB forum. I'm retired and started a big tire mini bike build. I have a nice GX 160 that came from my dead pressure washer and also a good flat head Briggs. Will decide on engine when I get further along. I like to read build threads for ideas and noticed many of them are closed for further posting. Is there a reason for that?

Sometimes threads get closed because they got long and way off track. Sometimes it's due to an argument. There is no telling... If you have a question about something you saw, post it..... Make a new post, with a pic or link from the thread in question.....

>6 months w/o activity=closed.

Bringing up old thread inconvenience vs inconvenience of posting about a thread. Kind of sucks in my opinion to post about a post rather than replying, even if it's old. You can PM a moderator and they can unlock if it's your thread.

Welcome to the forum!!

If you want a thread open for some reason, just let me know and I can open it for you. They get closed after 6 months if there has been no activity

The main reason that was implemented was we had new member reviving threads that had been dead for years; after 6 months of no activity, it's very unlikely any thread is still relevant so, it now closes automatically...

It's better to start a new thread & reference a closed thread...
