It is what it is. As you've mentioned, concerns were expressed the first time around, but evidently the top brass has decided to keep going with it. It's ultimately W1zzard's decision, as this is his site.
Locking the threads is likely being done as a pre-emptive move to curb discussions just like this from occurring in the relevant thread. Personally, I don't think it looks too good... nor do I think it looks good that we're advertising sites like that in the first place. I'd probably use one if I wanted to buy something (with caution, they're definitely not getting my debit card info, preferably a crypto payment), but I would also pirate things... but that doesn't mean I think an ads for pirate sites should be on TPU.
