Moving the 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' thread

Hello lovely Mods

Not a criticism, but I'm just wondering why the 'I'm forever blowing bubbles' thread was moved? The thread was centred around how bubbles in equities markets have an impact on the economy and the recession. Considering this board is about debating the economy and recession, I would have thought it could have been at home here on our little board?

Not really that bothered as, let's face it, there's more things going on in the world to worry about. Product placement on TV, various wars, famine, the continued dumbing down of BBC Breakfast news. Just seemed a tad odd.

Can threads ever move back? I wouldn't see it as a sign of Mod weakness, more a sign of Mod consideration and action learning.

    I agree,they shouldn't have moved it.
    If that thread ain't about the economy, I don't know what is.

    Can't you finish any thread without calling some one or thing sh*t?

    Mods: please move due to abuse. Oh, wait, actually don't. Damn, I don't know what you should do. I don't envy your job.

    I know what you mean mate, my thread has moved and I was making the point about the recession reviving old trades like rag and bone men.

    Sorry to ask again, and thanks for moving to site feedback, but what happens from here? Does someone come on and answer my original question and decide whether the thread gets moved? Or does it just get moved here for people to read and no feedback given?

    Cheers!
