It means the thread was closed. And please, stop posting new threads. If you're a real person and not just trolling, there are plenty of quality conversations around here. Join in those threads, and stop being an attention whore.

Re: What does this mean?
Oh no! Someone posting new threads!! We might actually get to the second page of unread threads. At least he's using the right forum sections, and they aren't completely inane.
Edit: Shit, I hadn't seen the "Count to 100" thread. I take this all back.

Re: What does this mean?
We need to try to be accepting (if not welcoming at least otter style) of new people trying to post here. That being said, new posters might want to lurk a bit and see how the community operates (style, tendencies, culture, the rules, the abundance of sarcasm here, etc) before charging into posting a ton of new threads. My 2 cents.

Re: What does this mean?
I didn't say that. I do notice you're having a lot of issues with the culture here, taking sarcastic posts as serious and things of that nature. Read some of these threads first. I mean read them and see how people interact. I think it would help answer some of your questions. Observing is a very underrated skill.
Back in the old days before we all had gaming consoles in our house we would go out to the arcade to play video games. My father said I would watch someone play a game I was interested in for quite a while before I tried it myself. I didn't just pump quarters into the game and die within 30 seconds of the game starting. I took the same approach with forum posting. Having that information stored away made me more confident when I finally did start posting.

You didn't take my earlier advice, but I'll give some more anyway. I'd suggest reading only for a few days, then posting in existing threads maybe a few times a day, and waiting at least a few months before you start a thread.
You won't find a better forum on the Internet, but you need to .... actually wait .... maybe make that your project. Report back to us after you followed your war plan here on every other forum out there.

Then I got to the rest.
