Jelly: Question. I've been on this site for more than 10 years, but I can't remember seeing information of this nature blended in with posts 250 or 1,000 deep before.
Fine, it gets merged, locked, killed, but it seemed weird to me that to get info about, for example, Brian Rogers' producing and his interview, I had to read deep into threads that had gone so far astray with conjecture and fighting that members were joking about the original purpose. Stale.
So be it. I don't see the purpose of threads if you're moving to categorical participation rather than permitting and managing new posts as intriguing rumors or news develops. Which means if you want to focus on this news about Rogers or del Torro -- not happening -- you'll need to sift through hundreds of threads and endless griping about who owns whose script, whether Godzilla should appear alone, ad nauseum instead.
By this new standard, you guys could just establish reading categories and dole out to us us minions stale breadline categories.
"Mac" should have started a new post, not bury his news 255 posts deep, in my opinion. I think this is an incrementally significant rumor, if not news, worthy of a new thread. I certainly thought Brian Rogers' producing was worthy of a new thread. It would have been in the past -- we might have learned quite a bit about Rogers' and Banno's association here from the more learned members. But, we won't, Rogers and the details of his interview are an afterthought in a thread reduced to bickering.
