Discussion of Pick-Up Threads...

Leon,

Obviously this is your board and you can and will do as you please. However, my problem is not with multiple pickup threads per se. It's with people starting new ones before the old ones have even had a chance to run their course (and are often still at the top of the front page).

For example, the fourth pickup thread this month began on the 14th and the fifth pickup thread (originally this thread before it was renamed) started a mere four days later. Thus, there was certainly no concern about N54 hosted scans being deleted (of course we all know that no one ever starts a new pickup thread because they are concerned about someone elses scans being deleted). Second, while the 4th pickup thread had 48 or 49 posts at the time - had one bothered to look, they'd have noticed that only about half of the posts actually contained a scan of a recent pickup. Naturally this means that there was no issue with load times (which as you correctly note is essentially a thing of the past for most of us regardless of the numbers).
