Such boards suffer not from having too many threads but from a lack of posting quality and lacking posting standards.
I think at the very least it would be a combination of all of them.
Plonking everything into the megathreads discourages full exploration and discussion of individual items. The pace of the megathreads is much higher because they cover so much, and it’s much harder to have ongoing or deep exchanges in them because the current’s so swift.
idk about that...I mean, "megathreads" is sort of how most of the Analysis threads go, right...?
Better to have pages and pages of threads that run their course and can be revived at the expense of encouraging searching and necromancy than having a few limited or overworked megathreads dominating the forum and limiting discussion and discouraging people from starting new threads.
I don't see what's discouraging about the bigger threads. If you have something new to add to them, jump in. People will discuss it if it's interesting, if not, it'll fall back to the wayside, but will always be there ready for anyone in the future to read when they go through the thread...if it was simply a thread itself, it would fall to pages beyond and probably be harder to find that way...
Wasn't my moderation gone over in that thing Ramsus made (I forget what it was called & don't have the url handy)...? I know it failed Ramsus' motives (because it was supposed to be about specifying evidence & such, not just making it a new forum), but I know that THIS THREAD probably isn't the right place to be discussing this? If we want, maybe someone can make a thread (Chrono Compendium Discussion I guess?)...? Then I'll merge these posts with it!
