I feel like it stifles conversation amongst the board members, making posts less frequent. A sort of... Post Recession.
Examples:
"Debate of the week"
"World News"
"General Anime Thread"
The problem, I believe, with these kinds of threads is it's very easy for them to become "Post-and-leave" threads. Like, for World News, it's very easy for someone to Google an article, post it, and not say anything about anyone else's article. So then we get four pages of people posting articles. Or for general anime, I can totally see someone just posting "I like Bleach" and leaving. Not ever coming back. Maybe I'm looking at it in the wrong light. Maybe if there was a "Bleach Discussion Thread" that same guy would be like "I love this show." and not actually discuss what anyone's talking about.
Am I making sense?
