unable to post in discontinued programs forums?
I tried posting something in the TWA forum today and was unable. I figured it might have something to do with an account limitation so I inquired with a moderator. He gave it a go and had the same problem.. It looks as though there may be a technical issue.

No one is allowed to post in discontinued forums, IIRC. The ability was removed a few years ago.

Good catch. Turns out the settings weren't quite right and were allowing postings from WAP devices.
All should be corrected now and once again, posting in all of the discontinued forums has been turned off. As always, please correct me if I am mistaken

Appears that viewing the discontinued forums is now also disabled.
Thought that page looked kinda short

Is there any particular reason why posting needs to be disabled? I understand that the programs are history, but what is wrong with letting people still have discussions regarding them?
It just seems like it's done for the sake of doing it, and for no good reason really..
Otherwise, seriously what is the point of them even being there? Are they to be treated like a museum exhibit, a forum frozen in time?
