They're not being closed; they're being moved to a more appropriate place.

I'm going to move this to the "JavaRanch" forum, which is where discussions about site policies belong. When I do, this thread will get a little "closed" icon, and there will also be, at the top of this page, an ENORMOUS link that says "This thread has been moved..." and gives a link to the exact new location.
