Heard there were a few problems over night but it seems like one of my automated scripts fixed it. Just testing at this point to verify ....

The site keeps slowing down and freezing up for me in Google Chrome.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sabrblade', 'I')'ve restarted both my browser and my whole computer several times since then, and even ran a full system scan of my computer that yielded no threatening results. Chrome is still acting slow and freezing whenever I try to access this site with it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Rated X', 'I') wish there was a happy medium but there isnt. I was reading the "rollbar" article and most of the comments are about thread merging, not rollbar. I dont know anything about servers, all I know is its annoying and discourages me from posting on front paged news articles. I like to follow up on my comments and cant do so when theres 3 pages of comments every few hours that dont pertain to the topic I posted on.

News Credits: 331 · by **chuckdawg1999** » Sat Jul 19, 2014 5:03 pm

I understand what you're saying Ryan and it really wasn't an issue for me until this movie cycle when every new figure was being merged into one thread and there were a lot of crossing comments. Not everyone likes to or uses quotes since they're not responding to a person directly. I'm sure once the AOE era is over things will calm down a bit.

I know this isn't a democracy, but if feedback is a factor, I'm with the others in feeling that these topics being merged is a painful user experience. I've basically been throwing one comment in on a topic if the topic is recent enough not to have been swamped with more toys/reveals/discussions because I can't keep track of what's being discussed by the time I get there and this also prevents me from having actual discussions with other users here about a particular figure or figures since by the time I may go to reply to or comment on what another user has said, several pages and news posts have occurred within the same thread about different figures/reveals etc. Incidentally, that's also why (as you may notice if you check where I've been posting these days) most of my posting now happens in the 3rd party forum. I'm not even buying that much third party stuff these days, but since those topics are generally kept separate to each individual figure, I can actually have a coherent conversation/discussion about it without losing track of where I posted, what the responses were to my post and what figure/item is being discussed.

I may post once on a front paged news topic these days and then I usually have to abandon it for the reasons above even if I have more to say about it or questions to ask.

Im not news staff, so I dont know how things are from that side of the tracks. But I offer this solution:

Delete the old stuff nobody reads or cares about.

Is there really a need for outdated "archives" ? Examples:

* If TF Source sends a new newsletter every week, why not just delete last weeks newsletter when the new one is posted ?

* Do we really need threads with grey prototype pics of MP-10 and older products ? Nobody reads it, delete it.

* For the Botcon stuff, delete old threads. Nobody cares about reading 100 comments about when is the Botcon 2008 website going live ? Delete them.

While I know the issue doesnt involve space or storage, deleting stuff might make things less confusing for the staff to the point where they can eliminate "thread merging" altogether.
