Because the average forumer, on any forum, is a tardbagel who isn't capable of reading 70+ pages of a post and adding coherent thoughts at the end and instead insists on replying to things still present in the first five pages that have been dead for days weeks or months, already hashed over and repeated ad infinitum and therefore are providing nothing but spam and/or reviving drama.
They remain readable for those few who actually want to see what happened, but closed so the same crappy two cents no one cares about doesn't get added to them yet again and bump the entire thread back into rehashing a subject that noone has cared about for the past three weeks but suddenly matters because someone pissed on the flames and brought it back from a well deserved death.
