Starting new threads

Lol. Thanks for proving my point.

I'll go to the garbage dump, and search for the nuggets.

levin, you really seem to hate this place. Why do you stop by here?

I'm also interested in seeing proof of barriers to entry. Our membership keeps increasing, we have fans of random schools popping in here all the time, activity is at an all time high, and even Moose has registered multiple times. The borders are open, my friends! This is an era of quality immigration, the likes of which we have not seen since the Mariel boatlifts out of Cuba in the early 80s.

You took logic, right?

Have you ever thought it might be the excitement related to the subject matter as opposed to the inept presentment of the subject matter that could be the cause of the interest?

It's not your giant threads that are attracting the people. And at some point, the frustration of navigating the behemoths will drive people on to greener pastures to find out/discuss the latest news.

Because there are enough nuggets to make the sifting, at least at the moment, almost worth it.

Also, why do you and a few others keep implicitly telling those who have a gripe or two about the place to leave or reverting to the moronic, "well then don't come here if you hate it so much." You all have had gripes too.

Yes, but I have never referred to the board as a trash heap. Nor, to my knowledge, has anyone else. So spare me the lecture on gross oversimplification.

I'm being hyperbolic to make the point that inevitably there is a lot of stuff in mile-long threads that many readers will not be interested in, whereas they could more quickly match their reading with their interests with more specific threads. What is garbage to me is high art to you, and vice versa. But you know this, so spare me your feigned offense with your gross over-literal reading.

is inept presentation a barrier to entry?

What is CB's viewership these days?

Some weaknesses with presentation are more grave than others, and I would say lumping all material touching on one grossly overbroad topic within a single thread should prove fatal in the long run, again, except for those who cultiivate and tend to the medusa.

WE'RE DOOMED!!!

how exactly did I prove your point? You do realize that you can search within a thread, right? I've never been unable to find a post or something that I wanted to find, and knowing what thread it is in makes that go even faster.

I could care less how many threads are started, but if you're going to argue that having fewer threads is less organized then I think you'll have a tough time making that argument.

Apart from the suggestions/complaints of individual posters please direct me to instances of "endless thread enforcement."

TIA

You made this request knowing that it is impossible to comply. We won't ever know if any thread enforcement is truly endless. We will only know that any particular thread enforcement is not endless when/if it ends. Very devious, Monkey.

As long as we are griping, do you know what bugs me? Signature quotes that use the quote tag (I am looking at you, Lost Student). It makes it tough to know where the post ends and the sig line begins and it takes up a ton of space on the page. Just use small font and italics (see below).

Preach.

The reason I had to do the quote the way I did is the never-ending enforcement by which we are subjugated by you people regarding signature character limits. I found that quoting this way uses slightly less characters and I could fit an additional quote. Blame DH; his choreography line was too quotable to pass up.
And don't even think about "oh, brother"ing me, JL. I'm preemting you!

relentless! The enforcement is relentless!
