right, it was hijacked, see?
ironically, you can make the arguement that it wasn't really hijacking because by hijacking it they answered your question.
Locked to prevent hijacking?
Sort:
lol
We're in for a long explanation here, perhaps...
Is it possible to Hijack a thread to prevent locking?
Sorry folks, I'm going to rain on your parade.
Matthew11, hijacking means posting comments in a thread that have nothing to do with the topic of the thread. The Egyptian thread was locked to keep people from getting into arguments over the politics in Egypt, the religions in Egypt, whether waffles are better than pancakes, or whether UFOs were flooded right out of their crop circles while searching for good living principles. The people posting in your other thread were just having fun demonstrating what a thread hijacking is.
P.S. I prefer sausage links and scrambled with a short stack of buttermilk pancakes.

I like pancakes, though.
I also had 200+ profile views after 4 days on the site.
A blonde thing I suppose.
If I were 40 years younger I would ask that sweet crepe to marry me.

people who talk about pancake really do not hijack a thread they sabotage a thread by being silly, because they think the subject is nonsense.
I think topic-hijacking is if someone post a sub topic that they are more interested in than the current subject. suddenly the subject/scope is no longer what the OP intended but something completely different and the OP does no longer get an answer.
