Because you listened to your friend. Put the t-stat back in.

coolant needs some restriction and time to absorb heat from the engine and carry it away. running no t-stat is not the right answer.

you probably now have air in your system. Put the thermostat back in and never listen to your friends ever again. We are your new friends.
