Running thread on the running thread debate

    Seems like we're discussing whether or not running threads are a good thing for this board.

    For the most part, I loathe running threads. There's so much that happens in one game, not to mention one week or one season, that one thread does not do it justice. And I'll be damned if I'm combing through pages of whatever to see if someone might have discussed what I wish to post and discuss.

    I'm sure there are some topics that are worthy of running threads, but lately it's been overkill. And it's getting to the point where I think a moratorium on starting running threads is needed.

    And, the last time I checked, Flying Headbutt is not a troll. He's never been a troll, nor will he become one in the days ahead.

    That's all.

    Well, we now have 6...count 'em 6... NFL/Colts/Manning/Super Bowl/Black coaches threads that are basically variations on the same theme.
    Is that better?

    More than one thread related to the biggest single sporting event in American sports. On a sports message board. For shame.

    It's better to have separate threads on the discussion of numerous topics, IMO. There's no need to clutter up one thread with all this.

    It's like a sidebar -- it's probably not worth discussing in the main story, but it's still something worth discussing.

    Is it trolling if I agree with Freelance?

    This is stupid. If we didn't have a running thread, the only threads on the first page would have been about the Colts/Pats game. We don't need six threads that say the same thing in a new variation. All of this was started because flying headbutt was mad when a thread got started. As someone on the thread posted, if you don't like that a Super Bowl thread was started, don't fucking read it. It's pretty simple.

    I don't disagree with this post, necessarily. The thread regarding the black coaches aspect or a thread regarding the two best place kickers in the NFL are not bad threads to have, but during the game, there needs to be one thread that people can post on. Otherwise, there's going to be 30 new threads just saying, "Did you see that great TD pass?"
