The topic of this giant thread (and similar 'general-purpose' threads on several other boards) has come up several times privately among the staff. Since it has now arisen from the users as well, I'm going to take the opportunity to act upon our previous decision about it.
These all-subject giant compendium threads were an unforseen outgrowth of the staff's tendency to lock duplicate threads when they appear. For some reason, some users have generalized that to seem like wider disapproval of all new threads.
For the record, Jordan and the staff have nothing against new threads. All we ask is that you check and see if a topic has already been presented before starting your new thread. Any topic is worthy of its own thread if it is worthy of discussion at all. A topic such as some we've seen ("What do your farts smell like" etc. etc. etc. isn't worthy of any discussion, whether in its own thread or part of something larger.
So by all means, if you have a question or comment, do a quick search to see if it has been covered, and then make a new thread for it. In followup to that, I'm going to lock this thread for further posting.
