Thanks for explaining. I had no idea you've frequently been confronted with locked threads before - your statistics only show one other closed thread, and that was in Misc - but now I see that it must have frustrated you. I apologize for snapping a little in my first VM.
I do feel like there's a slight difference between the Ashachu thread and yours - being that Ashachu is a phenomenon within the Pokémon fandom, so even people who didn't watch the episode were likely to have heard of it, since it's oddly popular despite the twenty-something-seconds-appearance of the character. Agree that the first post of that thread is lacking, though, and should've been designed to contain explanations for those who're unfamiliar with Ashachu. Ironically, the OP of the thread might actually be the one who's had to endure the most thread lockings within PAD so far - I think about 80% of his many, many threads didn't make it for various reasons - so I admit I might have been a little desperate and thought I'd had to spare at least some of his topics.
With your thread, it's a tiny bit more complicated - the origins of your homages are a little more sketchy since they're unrelated to Pokémon (and anime in general). There might also be an issue with the target group - as far as I know, the majority of PAD consists of young teens (~17, maybe?), while I'd peg the clips as aimed towards older teenagers and up. Only a guess, but it seems apparent that our most active members haven't watched them at least. Maybe I should've waited a little longer to see if anyone could relate to the topic, but when I see some of our most active members post with a question mark hovering over their head and some contacting me because they thought the thread didn't make sense, it becomes a little tricky ^^"
