You see, this is where we differ. I don't like the post count in threads getting too big, because it makes it harder when you come back wanting to find something specific.
That's why for a long time I didn't even bother going into the Fan Fest forum, because (apart from Liza) the threads for the skaters I would be interested in were getting out of control.
Also, to me, it is silly when the same topic is being discussed in a dedicated thread and a Fan Fest thread at the same time. For example, when somebody started a dedicated thread about Liza's 3A video in The Edge, I suggested to the Mods that the 4 or 5 pages about it in this thread could be moved to the dedicated thread, so that the whole discussion was in the same place. But, alas, it wasn't.
