As the originator of that thread I can tell you that it was originally meant to bring together much of the status match information from across Flyertalk, since the question of "can I get matched?" and "who do I contact?" comes up so frequently.
That was 4 1/2 years ago. And the thread was wildly successful, in a way I never expected. And so many posts do become a bit unwieldly (though you can always search within the thread).
I'd be happy to chat off-line (PM) with anyone who'd like to build a better alternative. Or someone can just build a better mousetrap and the market of Flyertalkers will decide to use it instead.
