I would guess that article drew the ire of the creationist astroturfing community.
The BBS also has a feature that will temporarily close a thread in which there are too many flags that are not yet worked by a moderator. Sort of a built in cool-down for threads that go crazy.
If the thread was automatically closed by that feature, it may reopen later.
Maybe @codinghorror can fill us in.
Is there a new creationist article? Can you link to the relevant topic? What is the date on the first post?
It was published this morning (6:56 am Fri, Dec 19, 2014).
Aha resolved here
Thx for the report!
