There sure are a lot of people calling for one big thread who are also not posting in the chillest thread on the forums, RZC Thread for Cool People.

The reason a thread goes slowly is that people aren't posting. Be the change you want to see, :justpost:

If the final vote is literally 50/50 (or close enough) we should stake the outcome on a primetime game. Like if the Raiders cover the spread Sunday night then we go back to megathread, and if they don't we keep split threads (bad example because lol the Raiders, but you get the idea)

That's one of the reasons why I still think megathread is the best idea. We can prance on about it being easier to follow, or more time for effort posts, but I've read the split threads and they are basically still the exact same thing they've always been. White noise posts of people reacting to what's happening. Nobody is talking to each other, not really. It's people posting reactions to what happened. Instead of one big thread with reaction shots, now we have 2. People who effort or try and be funny still get overlooked because no one is really paying that close attention in a GDT, no one ever has. Even single game GDTs at night have this problem. People only discuss when the game is boring, and when the game gets boring we get duck penis derails not discussion.

Why not just keep that in one thread instead of diluting it through more?

The idea is that I can tangentially follow a couple of the games when there's less posts to filter through. The split is fairly arbitrary IMO but the point is not less white noise, it's less overall posting which means your replies or posts you made which were replied to don't get lost in the din.

Still though, what's the point of having more things be noticed when they're not worth attention in any case

Less volume and fewer games. When every game is in one thread it's hard to follow anything unless you're religiously reading the thread.

Split threads are just chill enough that I can watch the game and hang out and :justpost:

Well yeah we're in a thread where people are bitterly arguing about the state of the TFF noon GDT(s)

He says, after having posted several times in this thread and having gone back to previous GDTs to compare
