Threads getting too long to make sense of

If something controversial comes up, and maybe 1 person on each team felt really strongly about it, that's 1000 post in a thread already. Averaging 15 words per sentence, and 4 sentence per post, that's 60,000 words right there, in the interval of 4~5 days.

I know of forums that have on average 1000 people online. And those are horendous to try to keep track of everything. Usualy those have very strict rules for posting and the 'chit chat' type forums are just full of discussion.

Plus they often have more sub forums for more specific stuff to try and keep stuff organized. I think Brandon has done a great job of keeping a very up-to-date and useful list of sub forums and the forum should definately continue to grow in that area.

Just think, when there are 2000 teams what its gonna be like

I definately think that when there are more moderators that will help alot. Those big forums usualy have like 50 or so moderators to keep track of everything. We'll just have to hold on like people said until we get more moderators.

In the mean time everyone should probably make a concious effort to make sure they are either staying on topic or start a new thread and link to the origional thread that made you want to post a new one.
