Why do threads get closed?

Please excuse a question from the ignorant, but why do threads get closed?

In theory because OP has received an appropriate answer.
Often because OP locked it because they didn't like the answers they got.
By Admin.

Thank you, rmet. I didn't realize you could close your own thread. I see now that you can.

And often when the OP receives and answer they DIDN'T want to hear they will close and delete the thread then come back and start a new one.

It happened twice today

So, if the thread gets closed, what happens to all the replies? And, can they all be removed? If so, then how?

 

[howamidoing]

Sounds like someone is trying to hide their stupidity.

 

[bsokee]

Maybe. But what's the use of them staying on here with so many insults?

 

[gawm]

can only the op close the thread? can someone who replied on a thread close it because they gave a stupid answer and stared to get "beat up"on?(figurally speaking of course)

as stated, only the originator or the administrator can close a thread.
