After looking at that thread, which deals with upgrades starting way back in 2007, I think you make a very good point. In 2010, does anyone care how FTers were doing upgrading in 2007, and why would anyone want to go through all those pages and pages just to see how FTers have been doing the last few months?

Maybe very active threads such as the one you highlighted can be capped after six months of activity, and a new thread (same topic, part II) be started so you don't get one that is now 80 pages long (might be even longer for those with different display setting than what I use).

I wonder if this topic was discussed at the recently concluded moderators meeting.
