It wouldn't appear there is much more then that here, although there may be more then meets the eye. And I believe I understand what you're saying, though if I didn't get it with this post, you'll probably need to go a bit deeper.

I think your talking about mine. about the save the underground thing.
Well, the reason behind that was, NO ONE was reading anything but hte first post anymore. I decided not to do it and do something brand new, I bet you couldnt even tell me what it is because you hadnt read it down below. So people kept talking about the first post, and it was now pointless. The thread had no longer served ANY purpose.I asked for it to be locked, the mod asked why, I gave my reason, and they locked it.
Done deal.
Which is actually quite ironic in a sense that you would say that Pimps.
Truly, as long as the reason is good, for instance, if the topic was a question which has been answered somewhere else in the thread, or if an idea comes up that is changed (like Nakki's), then the thread should be locked, provided the creator wants it locked. The creator can then ask a moderator to lock the thread, explaining the reasoning, and if the locking or deleting is justified well, then it will be locked.
No, it should not be locked. If it gets off topic it can be locked. If it breaks a rule it can be locked. Not because one member decided nobody gets to reply anymore because he has deemed it 'dead'. If the idea changes then why not keep the same thread? That way all the info and the evolution of the project is right there at your fingertips.
