They remain readable for those few who actually want to see what happened, but closed so the same crappy two cents no one cares about doesn't get added to them yet again and bump the entire thread back into rehashing a subject that noone has cared about for the past three weeks but suddenly matters because someone pissed on the flames and brought it back from a well deserved death.
Yeah, I can't gather thoughts on a 70+ page thread unless I read it all already. And more often then not I don't have much to say by then unless it's still active, and most of the time a 70+ page thread is NOT active. So what's the point? It's a lot easier to post in new threads for the people who want to know something then have a huge cluster in one page. It's very exhausting.
