Re: Social has too many Mega Threads
How many pages does a thread have to have before it is a mega thread? Is there some kind of standard or algorithm? Or is it more than pages---does longevity also factor in? This is an important topic for discussion and analysis.

No it’s clearly not. It’s when the topic is too broad, like a research paper on WW2.Radbird wrote:The technical definition is when the same posters make the same point/counterpoint arguments for five or more consecutive pages of in the futile belief that eventually one will capitulate.CardsofSTL wrote:How many pages does a thread have to have before it is a mega thread?
