Keep it all in one thread!!!!

[Jojoya]

I am getting so sick of people on the forums that keep getting really angy about necro threads this, and put all in the same thread that. No single person owns an entire topic. Let there be a few different threads a topic at least.

Making a thread doesn't mean someone owns a topic.

If there are multiple threads on the same topic, you end up with a few problems - the feedback spread out so its harder for players to state which opinions they agree or disagree with before adding their own thoughts, the same poster repeating their comments in every thread because they think that's the only way to be heard, and posters trying to keep discussion constructive with information having to repeat themselves over and over in each thread. You also make it harder for readers to find all the threads on the topic to get information.

Let there be a single thread. It doesn't matter who started it, they don't own the discussion. Even better if a CM or even dev starts the topic because that acts like a magnet in forums because when a CM starts a thread, players feel like they'll be getting heard. Instead of locking threads, delete the posts that break the forum rules or stray too far from the topic. It might mean more work temporarily for the mods but it will promote more constructive discussion in the long run.
