It's so we don't go too far too fast.
I really wouldn't want to close all of EZboard/IWETHEY in a hurry only to see a problem with zIWETHEY less than 4 hours later. At least with most of it closed, if we have a problem here, there's some breathing room back there.
I'll remember to close the rest of it off in a few weeks; I've been slowely backup it up and re-munging the content, and it will take me another week or two to be happy with the tools I've written to go get the really big forums.
