The
What do you feel like saying, right now? thread is still active. Although, I'm not sure it should be.

I think that would probably be a good idea. The "What do you feel like saying, right now?" thread has over 60,000 replies and is really slow.
Another forum software that I've been wanting to switch GC over to, Xenforo, is apparently very nicely optimized to handle the largest forum threads without too much trouble:
https://xenforo.com/community/thread...hreads.217612/ Post #3 in that thread mentions Xenforo being able to easily handle millions of posts in a thread. By the way, the person posting that, "digitalpoint", owns one of the largest web publisher forums and is extremely familiar with the programming behind various forum systems.
So what I'm thinking regarding some of GC's most popular threads is that for now maybe we start new threads to continue the discussions there in smaller much faster threads. And once I have GC converted over to the Xenforo forum software we can consider reopening those super long threads. And, we can also even merge the new versions of those threads into the originals once the forum system here can handle it.
