Terminating a forum

[+FshngGC]

I started a forum a couple of days ago. There has been some helpful advise and I have a better idea of how a part of geocaching works. However it seems that the forum has gone on too long to be productive and that some other forums are spilling into it. If a forum has "outlived" its usefulness can it be terminated?

Yes. Go to that topic and post another reply asking the moderators to close the topic. It stays there, but no one can post to it any longer.

He was getting tired of the responses to his desire to get someone else's cache archived so he could place one. Don't think he was happy with the general response to that.

Nothing wrong with the responses except that they were becoming redundant. I learned a lot from the answers. A little sarcasm never hurt. My male box was being overrun and some of the answers I was getting had nothing to do with the original question.
