 * Forgive me if this is in the wrong place, I figured “misc” was my best option…
 * I was posting in this thread:
 * [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-slideshow-of-recent-or-random-photos?replies=20](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-nextgen-gallery-slideshow-of-recent-or-random-photos?replies=20)
 * which I found when trying to resolve an existing problem I need a solution for.
   I was having constructive interaction with other forum members only to come back
   today and find the topic closed. I see that an admin moderated a small block 
   of code I inserted, which does not exceed the forum rules for requiring a pastebin,
   but it was done anyway. This is, of course, while I read topics each day with
   hundreds of lines of code that are not moderated or closed…
 * Anyways, my question is to understand why the topic was closed? I checked the
   forum rules and FAQ’s on reasons for closing a thread and it fits none of those
   criteria that I am aware of.
 * If this was done by an admin then I would simply petition you under the premise
   that I have been scouring the internet for a solution to my problem for months
   now. In that time I have found countless requests for the same solution I am 
   seeking, so it’s not like I’m asking you to rewrite WP to run on a TI-85 graphing
   calculator or something ridiculously unwarranted. I had been adding content to
   the discussion as I found partial solutions that may have helped some users, 
   I wouldn’t classify what I was doing as harmful or in any other way a violation
   of rules. Am I wrong?

 * I’m not sure why it was closed. I’ve reopened it. It may have been closed due
   to age of the original thread, but without a comment from the mod it’s impossible
   to know for sure.
 * If there is some overriding reason, though, it might yet be re-closed.

 * Thanks so much for re-opening the thread and your honest answer as to why it 
   was closed.
