WTF is wrong with 2+2?

Why won't they split up OOT? I don't recognize 1/2 of the thread starters. Their advertisers pay based on traffic. I would think making OOT easier to read and less clogged would be +EV for Zee and friends. What is the logic behind refusing to split OOT despite so many respected posters wanting a split?

WTF are you talking about? What split up? Who wants it?

If you hadn't started a thread asking for this I wouldn't of picked up on the sarcasm.

Yeah we had one or two threads about it, and everyone seemed pretty much in agreement. But has anyone actually taken the time to petition Mat?

I don't know about an OOT split, but I fully endorse a room with a minimum post count required for viewing/posting in threads.

That would just encourage a new members to post a huge amount initially.

Setting it at 1500+ posts would discourage most trolls/newbies from attempting such a thing. BUT, even if they were to do something like that, they could easily be barred from the room.

This would ruin the regular forum.... There are already enough "Quote only" posts In here That piss me off... besides Do you really want a forum where dead's stupid posts aren't able to be made fun of by EVERYONE? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

As a fairly new 2+2'er, I somewhat agree. I would say maybe a minimum post count for posting in certain threads--there's no reason to deny someone the ability to read a thread. I perused the site for about a month before giving my $.02 (really worth about half that).

However, a minimum post count can easily be defeated by "Deading" it--an exorbitant number of threads in a small period. I think he was to 4 digits within a month or two.

(I can blast him because he's still on that 10-day hiatus).
