PSA:
TL;DR I don't want people to have to read a ton of nothing to figure out what's going on in the world of DSP. Please only post if you have something to add and be liberal about making and using new threads for out of the ordinary events, even if they haven't become big yet.
I've been trying to figure out a way to maintain a low barrier to entry for people wanting to discuss or even read about the DSP universe. I had originally focused on the rapid growth of the general discussion thread after a conversation with someone who was hundreds of pages behind and he mentioned that he was only a few months behind. The sheer number of pages he had to read to catch up is a good example of a high barrier to entry. Some large events have happened lately (breakup announcement, taxes reveal, escort saga, Kat reveal) and some small ones (failed sponsorships, suspensions) and I understand that type of thing is going to create more discussion than usual. The issue I have is that the amount of discussion hasn't gone down to normal when those events end. The growth hasn't simply sped up while out of the ordinary stuff is going on, it has sped up exponentially as though all of these events never ended and are happening all at at once, even though they have ended and have been more or less one at a time.
Please refrain from posting in event specific threads if you have nothing to add. If you just want to talk about the normal day to day activities of DSP stuff do so in the general discussion thread. I'd like the general discussion thread to be something people can skip if they only want to know about "interesting stuff." If stuff is remotely out of the ordinary please make a new thread for it with a date, descriptive title, and whatever description you want in the opening post or use the thread for it if it has already been made.
