Yes, admins and mods have reasons to close threads. Some threads are stupid to the point of even making a big guy throwing a sad crying fit. The ways they indicate the threads are closed can sometimes be pretty comical. I'm not meaning to flame in any way. That is why I chose handy Craziness Domain as the option to post this. I hope admins, mods and regular guys enjoy a list I'm making and hopefully add to it.

List of every fancy way an admin or mod here ever told a thread was closed:

*Ker-close*
[Burninated thread]
*smack*
[dead]
[closed]
*closes*
[yoink]
[plasma rifles whole thread]
*McCloses*
KER NO!
[shoves thread in microwave] [incinerates]
[snaps finger, thread closes]
*SLAMS thread shut*
*Closey closey*
*reclosey closeys*
*Closey closey, again*
No one cares. *closes*
(Cuh-LOSE)
[Dead thread]
*closes spammy thread*
CLOSE, MOTHERFUCKER.
(oringinally posted by Fortissimo.EXE: This fight and this thread is closed) *Yes it is*

I used to use "*feeds thread to spam gremlins*" at other boards. Spam gremlins are fictional creatures that eat spam.

My manly, wang-sized 1600x1200 would break most browsers. Even such a minimized picture would shatter 800x600.

You know what, here. FEAR THE MIGHTINESS.

This is the best way to close a thread.
I sometimes get annoyed by a mod posting something like *closes* before closing a thread that obviously was trash anyway. It seems to contribue nothing. If threads aren't obviously bad to begin with, and I'm up for closing it, I try to explain why it should be closed before shutting it down.

I used to do this.

Now, if just everyone understood that. I hate seeing my threads being closed for no proper reason.

On the actual topic, here's some you forgot:

[Dead thread]
(cuh-LOSE!)
*closes spammy thread*

And then there's just *close*...

I agree, there should be a explanation why the thread is closed. If not they shouldn't even bother replying while closing the thread.

I tend to shout "You Fail It". Imagine me pointing wildly at the loser while saying it, then finishing with a flushing gesture and/or sound.

I always try to give an explanation, usually something short like "This thread was bumped" or "This thread has turned into a flame war." Multiple paragraphs aren't necessary, but people should know why the thread was closed.

If it's an advertising thread, or a thread like ... "u guys are poopy" then I don't think you even need to reply, but just trash it.

But, if it's something else like a bump or an accidental thing, than yeah an explanation should be posted.

Good karma.

Problem is, though, you just can't help but busting the offenders big time. Like when someone goes, "Gif m3 aw teh romz", we go "Oh, my! What a stupid person not to even read the rules!" Then you go to close this as fast as you can mode. Even your next door neighbor would do such. We are only human.

That reason is because if they do that, they must not know the rules at alll. So we instead are telling it to them. It is not a post just to post, you know. I think that most of the moderaters do a good job at closing threads 'properly' (Kawa's are the most funny I have seen yet). I have not had to close one yet, Ionno. That should be a good thing, I would think. They are behaving

Are we going to guess on the different ways of closing a thread?

"[snaps finger, thread closes] " Could be Anya.
"[Burninated thread]" Priere.
"(Cuh-LOSE) " Priere again.
"*McCloses*" Must be HH.
