While I am not Dovster, I will take the liberty of taking a crack at this... On a scale of 1 (harmless) to 100 (FT should be immediately shut down by the TSA):
A few threads with a lot of posts: 8
A lot of threads with a few posts: 11
Too many idiots for members*: 50
So yes, consolidating posts into fewer threads improves FT by 28%. But in the scheme of things, it does not matter. What matters is that people who make stupid posts should be ignored, which is why VBulletin mercifully includes the ignore option.
ETA*: This could have been misconstrued as a personal criticism of
magiciansampras. It is in no way so, I am talking here about generic concept of the idiot member here, and not commenting on who I have on my ignore list (of which magiciansampras is not one). I apologize if anybody took it that way.
