We have too many "Generic X Threads"

[Newt]

While I'd like to believe that this would never happen here, there is one concern I have with these general threads - large threads become very difficult to follow regularly. Just look at the Chit Chat thread for a perfect example. So, while maybe not strictly necessary, I would not be against diversifying things a bit.

This is what I'm talking about. I feel that diversifying threads will increase banter amongst us because it's easier to keep track.

Someone wouldn't normally do that. You don't come into a conversation say something and not continue to read the thread, because then why are you posting in that thread in the first place if you're not reading it?

You don't think people would do that because you don't think that way. I see it all the time. I can even point out some posts that're like that, but I don't like pointing fingers. Not my jam. But I can point out there are sometimes posters who like, want to contribute by posting, but don't really say anything. They just post a generic answer to be a part of the conversation without reading that the conversation in the thread has changed. Have you not seen that?
