    I don't know about others but I rarely if ever go in that thread despite really liking it....it's just too big in my opinion and to hard to catch up on and keep track of. What would be the harm in resetting it weekly or something? Would make it much more enjoyable IMO.

    I just look for the red "new" tag on the top right of the posts. I don't find the large size to make it less enjoyable.

    Just click "Go to first unread" up top to keep yourself continuing from where you last left off.

    When I go to revisit it I'm about 20 pages behind most the time. I end up looking through the next few then jumping to the last one, so I get your point and like the idea of a weekly one
    Although it is pretty epic how big it is....

    I don't think it's as bad as the Youtube thread with all the embeds.. every time I open it, my RAM dies.

    Think about it if you are coming at it as a new person...that thread doesn't seem intimidating?

    That's a valid point. When I see a thread with an interesting title, and then see its a shitload of pages long... I just say f' it and move on.

    Do you realize the ungodly siren scream that would occur as a result of the death of the millions of "likes" were that thread to be deleted or reset? The magnetic shock waves would literally erase the entire internet

    Replies must be 4 words or less. You can have as many as you want though. However brevity was never Ding's thing

    I agree with Hanzo. The premise of the thread generally doesn't interest me, but sometimes when I'm bored, I'll go take a look at it. Then I'm all "fuck this!" about it. One of the reasons I dislike Ratebeer is that they never trim the big threads, makes it too hard to catch up. I agree that a weekly, or even bi-weekly, reset would be a good idea.
