For example the two alec baldwin threads could be merged.

Personally, I don't understand why they would need to be merged...and how would that work?
Whose posts would go where? Seems like it'd just cause confusion. It's not like this place is being flooded by any one topic.

I kinda like it when there are multiple threads with different OP's on the same subject...

The discussions tend to go in different directions sometimes. Certain members posting in one thread, and certain posters in the other. It adds variety, and more activity.

I believe we still can but it doesn't look good when we do. And it looks REALLY bad when you merge more than two.


It's also a couple of cultural things and whether it's worth our time. Different subforums have different rules and cultures and it's a waste of time to merge a new thread with one that was last used 6 years ago.

Anyway it's easier just to close duplicate threads. Especially if one is small. So if we don't want to keep both for some reason we would just lock or dump the smaller one.

It would be a rare occurrence when two threads get started on the same topic on the same day or within a day or two in the same forum.

There would be a post from the mod after the most recent post in the surviving thread and then the content from the new thread would appear below.

It is just a keeping order thing. I wouldn't want threads merged across forums or if one thread had long since been silent.

I suppose closing the newer thread, citing it as a duplicate and providing the link to the surviving thread would work just as well, except the starter of the closed thread would probably get butthurt in some cases.
