I was not sure where to put this topic.
This was the sub-forum that mentions Forum so I put it here.

It’s about merging topics.

The latest good example is the MegaServer.
For kittens sake don’t merge this topic with that topic. It’s not about megaserver.
It’s about what the moderators do with topics posted about a subject relating to a major topic that others have also posted.

Moderator just picks a topic and sticks all the other topics relating to the major topic onto the end of it and it gets lost in the middle of a tone of pages.

The original topic title and question is lost.

What they should do when there is a major Topic is create a sub-forum for them and move the post in to it.
This way the titles remain with the start of the post and if more ppl want to add a new topic relative to the major topic, there is some where for them all to be localized.

Finding what ppl think about what you posted after it has been merged in the middle of other ppl’s topic is a nightmare.

Hope some one made sense of what I am trying to say here.

Yes it makes all sense. Posts get messed when some threads are merged and at times it gets confusing yes.
