Mikey,
The fact that a topic gets a certain number of likes (which became available in the Forum fairly recently) or number replies is not the basis for it to stay on the site, be removed or be closed. Far more than that goes into such a decision.
I hope you don’t take the closing of the topic as a personal decision towards you (it wasn’t) but rather an admin decision that was based on the facts already discussed. I hope you continue to post here and I certainly hope you don’t leave the community.
