On thread merging OY

There's a new thread OY on merging and what they should do.
http://www.dukebasketballreport.com/for ... ng-threads
Here's what I said.
I hate 98% of the thread merging. It's not really a problem because I don't read the merged threads. I don't read the recruiting threads - first because most of it is dribble and second because if there is something new and worthwhile I'll read it elsewhere without it being post #1658 in a thread I stopped reading on post #27 six months ago. The DBR boards have just about lost me, and I've been here and posting since 1997 in the Juliovision days. I've got well over 10,000 DBR posts combined, and most of them said more than "PM me". Julio and Boswell are friends of mine and the content is excellent. The boards - meh. Bring back the good old days. I discussed this with moderator Devil84 on Saturday.
The only threads that should be merged are when posters start new topics simultaneously or if a current thread has fallen off the front page in the last day or two and a new thread is started. But to bring back a year old thread with no posts in 11 months and merge it with something current and topical? Well, that's just ridiculous, and it has happened more than a time or two.

I saw that thread and yea, I basically don't read anything that gets long and heck I've basically given up reading anything other than the front page OY. Oh wells, it was fun while it was fun. I started reading DBR in 99.

I doubt that will change much, if any.

Personally, I would hope that 98% of what is posted OY is DRIBBLE. ;)

Would you be up for merging LTE 1.0 with LTE 2.0? ;)

I thought the term was "drivel."

I only go over there for the DRIBBLE (the hoops, that is).

If you go over twice, is that double dribble?

It is. Methinks a bit of fun was being poked here.

And if you go over there and here, that would be a cross-over dribble.

A well written letter from an alum, displayed on the front page...was it ignored by intention on the BB?
Inflamatory, perhaps?
I didn't see a thread reviewing this open letter.
