Why was this thread locked?

[Don Pedro Dinero]

I am pretty confident we are the new wealthy elite, gentlemen.

Last time I looked it was still open.

I suppose it was locked maybe because most replies were shitposts, and it is easier to lock the thread than to delete the (shitpost) replies one by one.

It is a pity that it won’t be bumped anymore.

I'm a bit ambivalent about locking those mega-threads. It's fairly old, so most of the replies may no longer be relevant, but it does give a place for the bounty spammers to post, and that can keep them away from the current information threads. If you don't give them a toilet for their daily ablutions, then they will perform their actions in more public places.
