Player- and issue-specific threads to consolidate posts
Thats really interesting to me, and would pretty much alleviate my concern which is that after the thread gets to 10 pages or whatever people are going to stop reading. If you know to just jump right to a page, then it makes it different...
There would be some lag though as people like Watzone are not moderators so if Wat decided to share some good info with us, he wouldn't be able to change the title of the thread. He would have to PM a mod or something...not a big deal though in the grand scheme, I suppose...
