Agreed. I mean, here we are discussing the merits mega threads in a thread that is expected to release news about Dennis Wideman's suspension. I keep opening this thread with hopes of finding new information about Wideman!
The problem is that by locking a thread the mods are closing a conversation that people could be enjoying. It also prevents good bumps to a thread. Too many new threads about one subject is annoying unless they get closed, which requires active mods. We could literally have 4 threads about the same subject:
-- Wideman hits ref
-- Wideman suspending pending hearing
-- Wideman hearing
-- Wideman suspension results
Not to mention any trade/contract threads that are effected by a discussion. So if there's a good conversation happening in any given thread, it gets locked when a new thread emerges, hence a mega thread in lou.
