AVS not as useful as it used to be

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
The multi-thousand post 'threads' have grown in size to the point of absurdity.

Several forums are plagued by this problem-Amps & Receivers illustrates the problem. There no longer any real posts, the kind with a subject, they are all this model and that model threads- some with 10s of thousands of posts.

How is the average user supposed to make sense of this? Its impossible to keep track of what the topic is at any point in the thread. To be fair i guess the couple dozen 'regulars' can make sense of it, but what about the million plus 'non-regulars?'

Be careful resting on your laurels AVS- given the lack of competition and your post count it's probably easy to assume everything must be perfect. It's not.

As a decade plus user i hope you accept this as constructive criticism and not a 'flame'. I still enjoy reading (some of) the forums.

Cheers,

Sam

As a forum member for 8 years, I think the opposite is true. More information is better! I recently read end to end of a 100 page thread over a couple hours and learned a lot! Wiki post functionality is supposedly coming which will help consolidate the best info in long threads so you can skip the side discussions I'd wanted, but sometimes I've learned good. stuff in the side convos too!
