I mentioned it now because I noticed how bad the bumping was getting. We can't be everywhere at all times, and have lives outside of the forums. Just because it's been one way for a certain period of time doesn't mean it should always remain that way.
Whether you think the thread was meant for discussion or not is kind of a moot point. This is a forum, and the idea behind posts is to encourage discussion and create interesting content for users to read. There's plenty of potential for discussion in this thread and there's no reason why interesting content should be restricted to the original post.
As for mentions of other threads that also break these post quality rules. Yes, there are other threads. We have an uncountable number of new posts and threads every day. As mentioned, we cannot be everywhere and yes, we could probably do a better job of moderating it. I simply moderated this one because it was readily visible and probably one of the worst cases of the situation.
I realise you feel attacked, but as mentioned previously it is not a personal attack, nor is it a waste of resources to "police" the thread. Our prime goal as moderators is to create the website an enjoyable, engaging webspace for users to read. Endless pages of bumps quite simply is not.
I'd like the discussion to move away from the situation and back onto the main topic of the thread now. If you any further issues you're welcome to PM myself or another member of staff.
