but one thing i don't understand is the "harder to search" argument. how are members "searching"? aren't they really just browsing through threads? in which case aren't they just complaining about how long a thread is and how full of contributions it is? what in the world is there to complain about that?!?! besides, it would be much harder to browse through the same number of pics spread out across numerous threads and pages. that's why i like the "mega" threads.
but, anyway, overall i really like it here and i'm glad to be contributing after lurking for awhile.

i agree. i will say there's arguments on both sides. some threads i revisit frequently because i know there's quality stuff i like. some users post multiple threads but i'll always look because i like what the user has posted.
then again, some users post a lot of threads and some threads get me more than others. and some long-running threads lose me and then i find out there's great stuff i've been missing.
i favor keeping it open and loose. and i favor promoting quality. but i think the "thank you" feature has done a lot to let people give feedback, and i can't imagine any thread-related change that doesn't take the "thank you" feature into account.
maybe just promoting threads based on thank-yous per post or something.
easy to talk about, hard to do correctly.
