quick question...
why is it bad to delete threads?
I know it's frowned upon but never knew why

Because it also deletes the replies.
Of which some are very fond.

^ This, and I've also heard that it cocks up how the boards works somehow too
But, I just heard that mentioned a couple of times so I know nothing.

It's worth remembering, however,
that if you're quick about it and no conversations or pictures are lost, you're allowed to kick complainers in the fuck.
If they're really bothered you can still link to the deleted thread so they can continue their non-existent conversation.

Well, based on the vague answers I once got for deleting this question
[[ Why can't I edit that up there ^. Should be asking this question... ]]
It's primarily because it removes all the chatter and so on which existed in that thread. People might have posted their pictures in there, deeming them not worthy of another new thread, and now they're gone.
Additionally whilst making a new thread pushes an older one off /board, deleting it does not bring that older one back. The damage, therefore, can't be undone.
Or something.
