Can it be "adorable fluffy bo-bita"?

Can it be "adorable fluffy bo-bita"?

Did I mention easily swayed? Of course it can. Maybe even "adorable fluffy bo-bita, who loves bunnies as cute little pets and not dinner."

I could agree with their being a general HoYay Thread with Due South and all the shows that get discussed there (Due South, Highlander, Stargate) as well as Smallville, but I don't think Farscape really fits in.

That's been my sense in other times this idea has come up. And from what Sophia says, Smallville isn't really very active. So I think moving the Smallville talk into DueSouth would be very doable, and my hunch is it wouldn't affect the atmosphere much. I'd favor doing that and letting the Farscape folks keep their separate zone.

But is that going to stretch out my screen? Better make it SMG.

It's not the number of threads, per se, it's the number of posts, right? So 2 threads with 10 posts per hour would use as much resorces as 1 thread with 20 posts per hour? So is there really much benefit to consolidating threads?

Eh...not necessarily. Let's say that there wasn't a movies or music thread. So I come online and I see that ita has finally caved to the ways of SDBs and Allyson is talking about how she took a bunch of acid and realized that she needed to have a Merchant Ivory marathon last night because she wanted to watch people drinking tea and Monique has come to the realization that Spike really is a fluffy bunny and so much better than Xander could ever be.

First, I check to make sure that hell hasn't actually frozen over. Then, I post in response because how could I possibly resist those setups? Now if everyone's posting in one thread, I'm going to compose one post in response to all three psychotic breaks. But if ita is posting in Music and Allyson is posting in Movies and Monique is posting in Buffy, I'm going to make three separate posts in response.

Basically, it's like thread sprawl. We, as a board, have become the Los Angeles Freeway System. Consolidation is like carpooling.

There may have been point in there somewhere. But maybe not. I think I got carried away with the imagery.

I love this image. I think that was more than the point. Or maybe it was "Consolidate now or be stuck for an hour on the 405?"

So the fewer threads, ultimately the better?

"Consolidate now or be stuck for an hour on the 405?"

It could be the anti-thread proliferation slogan.

But yes, fewer threads use less resources. I mean, if a dormant thread is truly dormant, it's not hurting us. I do think that sluggish threads, however, are hurting us because it would be better to have one thread getting 10 posts a day as opposed to two threads getting 5 posts a day.

I think the voting on this issue will likely be unanimous (well, except for one vote, maybe...)

And then she hunts us down one by one and kills us with her pinkie. SLOOOOOOOOWLY

Fair enough, and an excellent explanation Kristen.
