Actually tbh, I'm not a big fan of everything being in a couple of super long threads... If youre like me and not on the PL thread everyday it's easy to get lost... You come on and see 20 pages added and just don't bother. With the smaller threads you at least have a chance to keep up with a few of them. Now granted there are extremes in both directions where too many threads are created.
But then it looks like this place is full of stupid ****s who can only muster about 6 responses to each thread when the reality is...the thread only gets 6 posts because it's titled 'I've lost my gloves, help' or 'it's very windy outside, discuss' da ****.
I agree there are extremes in both directions. There shouldn't be a thread for everything... Nor should there only be 2 or 3 threads actively being used. There should be a little common sense in place.
