Mega threads are usually a mistake. Just post a new one! The bumping of the last red uniform thread is a perfect example of a senseless act of megathreadery.

When does a thread become "mega" after page 10? After 5 pages? I don't know but maybe certain subjects like injuries/FA/cuts those be treated differently than say other threads with same subject line or topic? |

We're using the term "megathread" here broadly, but I don't think it's necessarily a function of length. Hypothetically, if we had a thread here about Tyreek not practicing on Monday that had 10 posts, any new news about him practicing Tuesday should be posted in a new thread IMO.

I don't even necessarily mind some of the player-specific threads. If you just want to randomly blab about what you think of Austin Reiter, a megathread is a good place to do it.
It just gets really tough to draw the line. The Mahomes thread is great, and if we posted a new thread for every article about him it would be ridiculous. But I've read 4-5 articles this week about how much attention his no-look passes have gotten around the NFL, and we don't have a single thread dedicated to that discussion. |

I've actually seen other boards intentionally structure things around megathreads, so I could be convinced to do something like that. Something like...every player gets his own thread, and we add a disclaimer at the top that's something like:
"This thread is for general discussion about Travis Kelce. If you have anything that is particularly noteworthy, PLEASE post it as a new thread rather than just dumping it in here, where 75% of people won't see it." |

Mega threads suck ass. Start banning people who create them.
