There used to be a single thread for discussing the comics. It went from month to month, happily serving the community. Then a funny thing happened. The comic became popular. Really popular.

When threads around here get big it has a pretty severe impact on performance because it loads the entire thread in the history below the reply window. So to help keep things vaguely under control, about a year and a half ago (give or take) the decision was made to have a monthly thread that discussed The Stick. Even with the thread being locked and restarted every month, it can get pretty huge by the end of the month.

that ends our Giant In The Playground history lesson (tm) for today, class. Make sure to do your homework. ;D

edit: Meant to answer this, too:

I'm not quite sure which part of the rules you're complaining about. However, if you're referring to the rule that says, basically, don't double post and wait for a few people to reply before you post again - well, that rule is (more or less) intended for the posting games forum.

If that's not what you meant, can you explain it better?
