Why does KI lock topics at the end of a board? Do they do it because they're long lost topics and no one reads them anymore? Or do they do it because those topics are innapropite ( I've read some of those and I really don't think that's why KI locks topics). So I'm just wondering about this because when someone has a question about something and no one has anwsered yet and I want to I can't because it says that topic is locked. If anyone knows the anwser to this, please tell me!!!
Older topics are locked because they are just that, older topics. Most of the issues raised and the questions asked in those older topics have been answered and addressed. Most older topics are no longer relevant to the current game, but rather than delete them, we leave them in place as a reference for others.
If you want the prize, you have to build the ladder rung by rung. There are no shortcuts.

And what about newer topics that get an obviously prescripted KingsIsle response, generally including little more than a link to elsewhere, and then get locked?

Those are usually topics that have been repeatedly answered, and are duplicates. The links go to the original topic, or in some cases, the answer in the support section of the website.

Maybe so. However, not all of them are duplicates, and they certainly don't need to be locked - for all we know, the person who created the thread first went to the "official" answer, and was dissatisfied.
