Since TFF is its own forum so I guess I don't get why you can't have the separate Gameday threads.

Because they're slower and more boring and it doesn't improve gameday posting.

Plus then the CBS people missed out on some Bears fan breaking his table and blaming it on his dog.

A lot of us post from phones. And it's a hackneyed workaround for a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Actually good news, you'll see more posts because people like me will read and post in the less ridiculous split threads but not in the single awful one

This. I'd like to be able to keep up with my thread, not find myself like 5 pages behind when I take a piss run, and still be able to watch and follow the game too.

The solution when you're five pages behind is to not read any posts you missed and just type holky gently caress into the reply box to be ready for the next holky gently caress moment

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you're trying to read every post in a GDT, you're holding reading it wrong.

Welp I guess we knew this was part of the philosophy with one big thread but this is kind of why they are awful.

Why would we have a thread where people post without reading? What kind of thread does that produce

Perhaps I can clarify. I've always treated GDTs like a chat room - they're for talking about what's going on right now. For me, if I get food or go to the bathroom or something, I don't bother reading the old posts because they don't pertain to what's going on live, and I assumed in my previous post that nobody would. But if you do, that's your prerogative. If you go away for 5 or 10 minutes, yes, you can read the posts you've missed, but until you catch up, you won't be able to participate in live discussion.

The alternative is split threads where you leave for 5 minutes and only have to catch up on 1 page instead of 3, but there will be a lot of page refreshes that don't yield new posts, and that's a much worse scenario.

If no one has posted anything and you don't like that, post something. Hopefully it will be something relevant and interesting so we can have a discussion regarding it and the thread will be better because we all made it better.

Or just :lol: because apparently that's what everyone has wanted the whole time.

The main argument for one thread is that you might miss something if it's split. Meanwhile, it's been suggested that all you need to do to keep up with the megathread is skip chunks of it because, of course you can't read all of it.

I would have thought that if anyone's enjoyment of football had been founded upon reason, rationality, and consistent logic, the resultant cognitive dissonance would have driven them to ranting about football's "problematic" nature on tumblr some time ago.
